Maybe you can build a function   static class Method that does exactly that  I use Kohana which has a nice function called    Kohana  Debug   That will do what you want  That s reduces it to only one line  A simple function will look like  function debug  input        echo   lt pre gt        print r  input       echo   lt  pre gt

teach your editor to do it-  after writing  pr    tab i get exactly   print   lt pre     print r     print   lt  pre       with the cursor just after the    i did it on textmate by adding this snippet    print   lt pre     print r     1     print   lt  pre

This is the shortest   echo   lt pre gt   print r  arr 1    lt  pre gt      The closing tag can also be omitted

If you use VS CODE  you can use    Ctrl   Shift   P  - gt  Configure User Snippets - gt  PHP - gt  Enter  After that you can input code to file php json      Show variable user want to see        prefix    pre       body           echo   lt pre gt            print r  variable           echo   lt  pre gt             description    Show variable user want to see      After that you save file php json  then you return to the first file with any extension  php and input pre  -  Enter Done  I hope it helps

Probably not helpful  but if the array is the only thing that you ll be displaying  you could always set  header  Content-type  text plain

User · Answer

Just write  print r  myarray     it will display you content of an array  myarray  exit      it will not execute further codes after displaying your array

If you are using XDebug simply use  var dump  variable     This will dump the variable like print r does - but nicely formatted and in a  lt pre gt     If you don t use XDebug then var dump will be as badly formated as print r without  lt pre gt

I generally like to create my own function as has been stated above  However I like to add a few things to it so that if I accidentally leave in debugging code I can quickly find it in the code base  Maybe this will help someone else out   function  pr  d        echo   lt div style  border  1px solid ccc  padding  10px   gt        echo   lt strong gt     debug backtrace   0   file           debug backtrace   0   line       lt  strong gt        echo   lt  div gt        echo   lt pre gt        if is array  d         print r  d         else if is object  d         var dump  d             echo   lt  pre gt

I just add function pr   to the global scope of my project  For example  you can define the following function to global inc  if you have  which will be included into your index php of your site   Or you can directly define this function at the top of index php of root directory      function pr  obj             echo   lt pre gt          print r   obj         echo   lt  pre gt

I would go for closing the php tag and then output the  lt pre gt  lt  pre gt  as html  so PHP doesn t have to process it before echoing it     gt    lt pre gt  lt   print r  arr 1   gt  lt  pre gt    lt  php   That should also be faster  not notable for this short piece  in general  Using  can be used as shortcode for PHP code

Nope  you d just have to create your own function   function printr  data       echo   lt pre gt          print r  data      echo   lt  pre gt          Apparantly  in 2018  people are still coming back to this question  The above would not be my current answer  I d say  teach your editor to do it for you  I have a whole bunch of debug shortcuts  but my most used is vardd which expands to  var dump   FILE             LINE     VAR   die     You can configure this in PHPStorm as a live template

echo   lt pre gt     print r   myarray  true       lt  pre gt      From the PHP net print r   docs      When  the second  parameter is set to TRUE  print r   will return the information rather than print it

User · Answer

You can set the second parameter of print r to true to get the output returned rather than directly printed    output   print r  myarray  true     You can use this to fit everything into one echo  don   t forget htmlspecialchars if you want to print it into HTML    echo   lt pre gt    htmlspecialchars print r  myarray  true      lt  pre gt      If you then put this into a custom function  it is just as easy as using print r   function printr  a        echo   lt pre gt    htmlspecialchars print r  a  true      lt  pre gt
