supported types: `null` `boolean` `integer` `float` `string` `array` `object` `closure` `resource`

Install
-------

[](#install)

easy installation via composer

```
composer require --dev bohmm/php-dumper
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Using PHP dumper is easy. Enter a variable as the first parameter in the constructor. PHP dumper allows two display modes `default` or `inline`, which can be set using the second parameter (false = default, true = inline).

default usage:

```
require __DIR__ . '/path/to/autoload.php';

$variable = 'hello world';

# display default mode
$dumper = new \Bohmm\PhpDumper\Dumper($variable);
echo $dumper->dump();

# display inline mode
$dumper = new \Bohmm\PhpDumper\Dumper($variable, true);
echo $dumper->dump();
```

or via helper functions `dump` or `ddump`:

```
require __DIR__ . '/path/to/autoload.php';

$variable = 'hello world';

# display the variable (default or inline mode)
dump($variable);
dump($variable, true);

# display the variable and terminate other scripts (default or inline mode)
ddump($variable);
ddump($variable, true);
```
