Synopsis

mixed print_r(mixed value[, bool return])

Outputs value in a human-readable manner. If value is a string, integer, or float, the value itself is output; if it is an array, the keys and elements are shown; and if it is an object, the keys and values for the object are displayed. This function returns true. If return is set to true, then the output is returned rather than displayed.
