Question Is it possible to change the behavior of PHP's print_r function was marked was duplicated of this one . I'd like to answer more how is possible change the behavior of print_r. My propose is do another function with another name that do the print_r customized . And we just need replace print_r functions with print_r_pretty ...

function print_r_pretty($in, $saveToString = false) {
    $out = print_r($in, true);
    $out = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $out);
    switch ($saveToString) {
      case true: return $out;
      default: echo $out;
    }
  }

But line :

$out = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $out);

can be replaced by another line that do another changes to print_r like this :

$out = explode("\n", $out, 2)[1];
