This function displays the contents of any array in a nicely formatted display.
It combines the <pre> </pre> and the print_r function into one making it easy to use and the displayed results easier to understand.
The function uses one input:
$array - the array variable to be displayed
This is a great function for testing and debugging during developing stages of a script.
######## start script
function printr($array) {
echo "<pre>";
print_r($array);
echo "</pre>";
}
// example
$array = array(1, 2, array(0 => "zero", 1 => "one"));
// normal print_r function
print_r($array);
// printr function
printr($array);
######## finish script
