Actually, if I had my druthers, my domain TLD would be ".texas". Some day, when Texas becomes the independent country it should be, that will be my TLD. -Original Message- From: DL Neil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 8:57 AM To: Rick Emery; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] How get the name of the array variable?

your mailing address TLD (the ".pl" in "emarket.pl") says you're from Poland -Original Message- From: Tomek Golembiewski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 7:20 AM To: DL Neil; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] How get the name of the array variable? > > Please feel free to translate it into Polish.

Efficient is not the main problem when U debuging scripts IMHO.
I found that on php.net in doc.
function db($call,$cname)
{
// call: the variable you want to print_r
// cname: the label for your debugging output
if (DEBUG)
{
global $SCRIPT_NAME;
echo "$cname in $SCRIPT_NAME";
if (!is_array($call)) { $call=htmlspecialchars($call); }
print_r($call);
if ( is_array($call)) { reset($call); }
echo "--";
} // end function db() ==
}
Very nice IMO, but still not solve the value name problem.
BTW it's third solution that I see and every one of them have "label for your
debugging output" given as parameter.
But I'm very lezy and I prefer to write down db($my_var) then
db($my_var,"this is my_var"),
I doing lot's of debugin.

This doesn't solve the strval problem, but in my debug output I wasn't so interested
in the array's name, as in
the meaning/status of the data it contained. Here is an equivalent approach (- the
idea of nesting the two
functions was the subject of a conversation with Torben here, a few days back):
Function ShowList( $title, $aList )
// Debug output routine to echo an array/list to the screen
//requires a documentary name for the list as $title
//requires the array to be listed as $aList
// NB co-requisite FnShowListItem
{
echo "Listing array=$title: n=" . count( $aList );
array_walk( $aList, "FnShowListItem" );
}
Function FnShowListItem( $item, $key ) { echo "$key=" . $item . "~"; }
//end of function ShowList
In the main routine make a call something like:
if ( DEBUG ) ShowList( "Prefixed", $aURLs );
Please feel free to translate it into Polish.
I haven't tried to time/test, but I figured that the array_walk() would be more
efficient than writing an
(interpreted) PHP loop to run through the entire array/list, even with the function
call.
Perhaps someone can confirm/refute that?
