有没有适合 PHP 的漂亮图片?

我正在修复一些 PHP 脚本,我想念 Ruby 漂亮的打印机。

require 'pp'
arr = {:one => 1}
pp arr

将输出{ : one = > 1}。这甚至可以用于相当复杂的对象,并使得深入挖掘未知脚本变得更加容易。有没有办法在 PHP 中复制这个功能?

Both print_r() and var_dump() will output visual representations of objects within PHP.

$arr = array('one' => 1);
print_r($arr);
var_dump($arr);

For simplicity, print_r() and var_dump() can't be beat. If you want something a little fancier or are dealing with large lists and/or deeply nested data, Krumo will make your life much easier - it provides you with a nicely formatted collapsing/expanding display.

error_log(print_r($variable,true));

to send to syslog or eventlog for windows

If you're doing more debugging, Xdebug is essential. By default it overrides var_dump() with it's own version which displays a lot more information than PHP's default var_dump().

There's also Zend_Debug.

For PHP, you can easily take advantage of HTML and some simple recursive code to make a pretty representation of nested arrays and objects.

function pp($arr){
$retStr = '<ul>';
if (is_array($arr)){
foreach ($arr as $key=>$val){
if (is_array($val)){
$retStr .= '<li>' . $key . ' => ' . pp($val) . '</li>';
}else{
$retStr .= '<li>' . $key . ' => ' . $val . '</li>';
}
}
}
$retStr .= '</ul>';
return $retStr;
}

This will print the array as a list of nested HTML lists. HTML and your browser will take care of indenting and making it legible.

Since I found this via google searching for how to format json to make it more readable for troubleshooting.

ob_start() ;  print_r( $json ); $ob_out=ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); echo "\$json".str_replace( '}', "}\n", $ob_out );

a one-liner that will give you the rough equivalent of "viewing source" to see array contents:

assumes php 4.3.0+:

echo nl2br(str_replace(' ', ' ', print_r($_SERVER, true)));

Remember to set html_errors = on in php.ini to get pretty printing of var_dump() in combination with xdebug.

I think the best solution for pretty printing json in php is to change the header:

header('Content-type: text/javascript');

(if you do text/json many browsers will prompt a download... facebook does text/javascript for their graph protocol so it must not be too bad)

This function works pretty well so long as you set header('Content-type: text/plain'); before outputting the return string

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php#80339

<?php
// Pretty print some JSON
function json_format($json)
{
$tab = "  ";
$new_json = "";
$indent_level = 0;
$in_string = false;


$json_obj = json_decode($json);


if($json_obj === false)
return false;


$json = json_encode($json_obj);
$len = strlen($json);


for($c = 0; $c < $len; $c++)
{
$char = $json[$c];
switch($char)
{
case '{':
case '[':
if(!$in_string)
{
$new_json .= $char . "\n" . str_repeat($tab, $indent_level+1);
$indent_level++;
}
else
{
$new_json .= $char;
}
break;
case '}':
case ']':
if(!$in_string)
{
$indent_level--;
$new_json .= "\n" . str_repeat($tab, $indent_level) . $char;
}
else
{
$new_json .= $char;
}
break;
case ',':
if(!$in_string)
{
$new_json .= ",\n" . str_repeat($tab, $indent_level);
}
else
{
$new_json .= $char;
}
break;
case ':':
if(!$in_string)
{
$new_json .= ": ";
}
else
{
$new_json .= $char;
}
break;
case '"':
if($c > 0 && $json[$c-1] != '\\')
{
$in_string = !$in_string;
}
default:
$new_json .= $char;
break;
}
}


return $new_json;
}
?>

This is a little function I use all the time its handy if you are debugging arrays. The title parameter gives you some debug info as what array you are printing. it also checks if you have supplied it with a valid array and lets you know if you didn't.

function print_array($title,$array){


if(is_array($array)){


echo $title."<br/>".
"||---------------------------------||<br/>".
"<pre>";
print_r($array);
echo "</pre>".
"END ".$title."<br/>".
"||---------------------------------||<br/>";


}else{
echo $title." is not an array.";
}
}

Basic usage:

//your array
$array = array('cat','dog','bird','mouse','fish','gerbil');
//usage
print_array("PETS", $array);

Results:

PETS
||---------------------------------||


Array
(
[0] => cat
[1] => dog
[2] => bird
[3] => mouse
[4] => fish
[5] => gerbil
)


END PETS
||---------------------------------||

This is what I use to print my arrays:

<pre>
<?php
print_r($your_array);
?>
</pre>

The magic comes with the pre tag.

If your server objects to you changing headers (to plain text) after some have been sent, or if you don't want to change your code, just "view source" from your browser--your text editor (even notepad) will process new lines better than your browser, and will turn a jumbled mess:

Array ( [root] => 1 [sub1] => Array ( ) [sub2] => Array ( ) [sub3] => Array ( ) [sub4] => Array ( ) ...

into a properly tabbed representation:

[root] => 1
[sub1] => Array
(
)


[sub2] => Array
(
)


[sub3] => Array
(
)


[sub4] => Array
(
)...

I use this function for debugging:

function pre($pre=true) {
if($pre) {
echo "<pre>";
}
foreach(func_get_args as $arg) {
print_r($arg);
# or, if it pleases you more:
# var_dump(arg);
}
if($pre) {
echo "<pre>";
}

}

This way you don't have to

pre($arrayOne);
pre($arrayTwo);

But in one go:

pre($arrayOne, $arrayTwo);

Or as many arguments you give it.

FirePHP is a firefox plugin that print have a much pretty logging feature.

If you want to use the result in further functions, you can get a valid PHP expression as a string using var_export:

$something = array(1,2,3);
$some_string = var_export($something, true);

For a lot of the things people are doing in their questions, I'm hoping they've dedicated a function and aren't copy pasting the extra logging around. var_export achieves a similar output to var_dump in these situations.

The best I found yet is this:

echo "<pre>";
print_r($arr);
echo "</pre>";

And if you want it more detailed:

echo "<pre>";
var_dump($arr);
echo "</pre>";

Adding a <pre> HTML tag in a web development environment will respect the newlines \n of the print function correctly, without having to add some html <br>

I pulled a few of these options together into a wee little helper function at

http://github.com/perchten/neat_html/

You can print to html, neatly outputted, as well as jsonify the string, auto-print or return etc.

It handles file includes, objects, arrays, nulls vs false and the like.

There's also some globally accessible (but well scoped) helpers for when using settings in a more environment-like way

Plus dynamic, array-based or string optional arguments.

And, I keep adding to it. So it's supported :D

    <?php
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($your_array);
// or
var_export($your_array);
// or
print_r($your_array);
echo '</pre>';
?>

Or Use external libraries like REF: https://github.com/digitalnature/php-ref

Expanding on @stephen's answer, added a few very minor tweaks for display purposes.

function pp($arr){
$retStr = '<ul>';
if (is_array($arr)){
foreach ($arr as $key=>$val){
if (is_array($val)){
$retStr .= '<li>' . $key . ' => array(' . pp($val) . '),</li>';
}else{
$retStr .= '<li>' . $key . ' => ' . ($val == '' ? '""' : $val) . ',</li>';
}
}
}
$retStr .= '</ul>';
return $retStr;
}

Will format any multidimensional array like so:

enter image description here

This is what i usally use:

$x= array(1,2,3);
echo "<pre>".var_export($x,1)."</pre>";

Here is a version of pp that works for objects as well as arrays (I also took out the commas):

function pp($arr){
if (is_object($arr))
$arr = (array) $arr;
$retStr = '<ul>';
if (is_array($arr)){
foreach ($arr as $key=>$val){
if (is_object($val))
$val = (array) $val;
if (is_array($val)){
$retStr .= '<li>' . $key . ' => array(' . pp($val) . ')</li>';
}else{
$retStr .= '<li>' . $key . ' => ' . ($val == '' ? '""' : $val) . '</li>';
}
}
}
$retStr .= '</ul>';
return $retStr;
}

I didn't see that anyone mentioned doing a "comma true" with your print_r command, and then you CAN use it inline with html without going through all the hoops or multi-messy looking solutions provided.

print "session: <br><pre>".print_r($_SESSION, true)."</pre><BR>";

If you want a nicer representation of any PHP variable (than just plain text), I suggest you try nice_r(); it prints out values plus relevant useful information (eg: properties and methods for objects). enter image description here Disclaimer: I wrote this myself.

Best way to do this is

echo "<pre>".print_r($array,true)."</pre>";

Example:

$array=array("foo"=>"999","bar"=>"888","poo"=>array("x"=>"111","y"=>"222","z"=>"333"));
echo "<pre>".print_r($array,true)."</pre>";

Result:

Array
(
    [foo] => 999
    [bar] => 888
    [poo] => Array
        (
            [x] => 111
            [y] => 222
            [z] => 333
        )
)

Read more about print_r.

About the second parameter of print_r "true" from the documentation:

When this parameter is set to TRUE, print_r() will return the information rather than print it.

A nice colored output:

echo svar_dump(array("a","b"=>"2","c"=>array("d","e"=>array("f","g"))));

will looks like:

Here's another simple dump without all the overhead of print_r:

function pretty($arr, $level=0){
$tabs = "";
for($i=0;$i<$level; $i++){
$tabs .= "    ";
}
foreach($arr as $key=>$val){
if( is_array($val) ) {
print ($tabs . $key . " : " . "\n");
pretty($val, $level + 1);
} else {
if($val && $val !== 0){
print ($tabs . $key . " : " . $val . "\n");
}
}
}
}
// Example:
$item["A"] = array("a", "b", "c");
$item["B"] = array("a", "b", "c");
$item["C"] = array("a", "b", "c");


pretty($item);


// -------------
// yields
// -------------
// A :
//     0 : a
//     1 : b
//     2 : c
// B :
//     0 : a
//     1 : b
//     2 : c
// C :
//     0 : a
//     1 : b
//     2 : c

I made this function to print an array for debugging:

    function print_a($arr) {
print '<code><pre style="text-align:left; margin:10px;">'.print_r($arr, TRUE).'</pre></code>';
}

Hope it helps, Tziuka S.

How about a single standalone function named as debug from https://github.com/hazardland/debug.php.

Typical debug() html output looks like this:

enter image description here

But you can output data as a plain text with same function also (with 4 space indented tabs) like this (and even log it in file if needed):

string : "Test string"
boolean : true
integer : 17
float : 9.99
array (array)
bob : "alice"
1 : 5
2 : 1.4
object (test2)
another (test3)
string1 : "3d level"
string2 : "123"
complicated (test4)
enough : "Level 4"

In PHP 5.4 you can use JSON_PRETTY_PRINT if you are using the function json_encode.

json_encode(array('one', 'two', 'three'), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
