Does anyone have a handy solution? (Make this the default behavior?
Add a "even more human-readable" flag to the function? Create a
simple macro in Aptana 3?)

I prefer car_dump with the xdebug module installed, the output is nicely
formatted, which might be what you're looking for?

That should have been var_dump(), stupid phone auto correct!

I have an init file that I include in every site that contains a few
routines I use over and over. One such is:
function instrument($legend, $var)
{
print $legend . "<br/>\n";;
print "<pre><br/>\n";
print_r($var);
print "</pre><br/>\n";
}
I use this routine wherever I want to see what's going on. It formats
(particularly) array output so that I can read it, instead of having
everything look like JSON, which is much harder to read.
Feel free to use the above yourself as needed.

Just to share, a Mr. Harkness forwarded me a consolidated version of my
code.. basically substituting the innards for:
if (!isset($pmatch) || substr($key,0,strlen($pmatch)) == $pmatch) {
print "$key = $value<br />";
}
Cheers,

I need to change sendmail from field, I added following to my .htaccess:
php_value sendmail_from 'x...@xxx.xxx'
and tried to send out an email, but it still comes from apache@FQDN
through phpinfo(); I see as local value my email address x...@xxx.xxx

try this before sending mail:
$sender = 'some...@somewhere.com';
if (ini_get("sendmail_from") == null || ini_get("sendmail_from") == "")
{
ini_set("sendmail_from", $sender);
}
it is working fine for me

And how are you generating the email?

do you know if Drupal uses that too?

I guess I'm asking to see your code pertaining to sending the email.
Telling us about a couple of ini settings doesn't really present us a
picture of your problem.

If you're using Drupal to send the mail, or any module installed in
Drupal, than there are most likely settings in Drupal (module) that
allow you to set the from address. If these functions call the mail
command with a different From address, than that address will be used,
and not the one in php.ini, .htaccess or set with ini_set.

Exactly, and the fact that it shows "1, 2, 2" in the second loop adds more
confusion, but it makes sense. In the second loop, it assigns the indexed
row value into the third row and displays it. Thus it displays row 1, row
2, and then ... row 3, but row 3 is the one that keeps getting overwritten.
And in the third iteration, it overwrites the third row with the third row
which currently holds what was in row 2.
The moral is always unset the iterator variable when doing foreach with a

While you can certainly follow the above advice, in my view it's dangerous
to have these two loops a) reuse the same variable name for a different
purpose and b) exist in the same scope. More and more I find myself
dropping the subtle tricks I've learned over the years in favor of writing
code that is as easy to understand as possible. Code gets read and modified
a lot more than it gets written, and all those tricks just trip up more
junior teammates--and often even myself. :)

Agreed, in fact, I decided to create a new style naming convention where
"_ref" is always suffixed to variable names that are references, along
with doing the unset, just in case. This goes to show that references
can be a recipe for subtle bugs to creep in, so best to isolate them as
much as possible to their own convention. If the convention is followed,
it should eliminate the possibility of this bug, even if the unset is
left out.
