Variable Dumping with PHP
-------------------------

[](#variable-dumping-with-php)

Being used to the *fancy* dump Adobe Coldfusion uses, I can hardly make sense of the raw dumping in php; I need something similar.

#### Usage:

[](#usage)

- composer require ***adudjandaniel/php\_dump***
- require\_once ***/path/to/autoload.php*** (Add to php scripts)
- use namespace ***PhpDump\\Dump***
- **Dump::php\_dump(variable\_name \[, *label*\])**

#### Functionality (so far):

[](#functionality-so-far)

- Dumping
    - basic types (integer, boolean, float, *string*)
    - indexed arrays
    - associative array
- Toggling display of values.
    Click on the key of the value to toggle it's display.

#### The method ***php\_dump()*** takes two parameters:

[](#the-method-php_dump-takes-two-parameters)

1. **variable name** (required)
2. *label* (optional)

#### Check these outputs:
