                                  var_export

   (PHP 4 >= 4.2.0)
   var_export -- Outputs or returns a string representation of a variable

Description

   mixed var_export ( mixed expression [, bool return])

   This function returns structured information about the variable that
   is passed to this function. It is similar to var_dump() with the
   exception that the returned representation is valid PHP code.

   You can also return the variable representation by using TRUE as
   second parameter to this function.

   Compare var_export() to var_dump().

   <?php
   $a = array (1, 2, array ("a", "b", "c"));
   var_export($a);
   ?>

   output:
array (
  0 => 1,
  1 => 2,
  2 =>
  array (
    0 => 'a',
    1 => 'b',
    2 => 'c',
  ),
)

   <?php
   $b = 3.1;
   $v = var_export($b, true);
   echo $v;
   ?>

   output:
   3.1
