Here's an alternative, actively maintained open source var_dump on steroids:

https://github.com/kint-php/kint

It works with zero set up and has more features than Xdebug's var_dump.

Example which bypasses the dumped object size limit on the fly with Kint:

     require 'kint.phar';
     +d( $variable ); // append `+` to the dump call

Here's a screenshot:
