This is a little function I use all the time its handy if you are debugging arrays. The title parameter gives you some debug info as what array you are printing. it also checks if you have supplied it with a valid array and lets you know if you didn't.
function print_array($title,$array){
if(is_array($array)){
echo $title."
".
"||---------------------------------||
".
"";
print_r($array);
echo "
".
"END ".$title."
".
"||---------------------------------||
";
}else{
echo $title." is not an array.";
}
}
Basic usage:
//your array
$array = array('cat','dog','bird','mouse','fish','gerbil');
//usage
print_array("PETS", $array);
Results:
PETS
||---------------------------------||
Array
(
[0] => cat
[1] => dog
[2] => bird
[3] => mouse
[4] => fish
[5] => gerbil
)
END PETS
