( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
virtualsue I don't use PHP, and I'm probably not the only one. Could you please add a brief description of what 'print_r' does?

It prints out data items and references, it traces complex data structures down to the last item (arrays, hashes), example (PHP, so be warned!):

<?php $record = array( 'convict' => array( 'name' => 'virtualsue', 'link' => 'www.perlmonks.org/?node_id +=70099'), 'penalty' => array( 'type' => '48h TV w/out breaks', 'warden'=> 'Mike Judge') ); print_r($record); ?>

The last line produces exactly the following output:
Array ( [convict] => Array ( [name] => virtualsue [link] => www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=70099 ) [penalty] => Array ( [type] => 48h TV w/out breaks [warden] => Mike Judge ) )

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
