Krumo
Krumo is a replacement for print_r()
and var_dump()
. This is an updated version
because the SourceForge.net version appears to have been abandoned., (*1)
Installation:
Include the Krumo class in your header.php
or global project include:, (*2)
include("/path/to/krumo/class.krumo.php");
or, (*3)
Add this line to your composer.json "require" section:, (*4)
composer.json
{
"require": {
"mmucklo/krumo": "*"
}
}
Usage:
After Krumo is loaded you have access to the global Krumo functions: krumo()
, k()
, and kd()
., (*5)
$arr = array(
'first' => 'Jason',
'last' => 'Doolis',
'phone' => array(5032612314,4512392014),
'likes' => array('animal' => 'kitten', 'color' => 'purple'),
);
// Dump out the array, short and long versions
k($arr);
krumo($arr);
// Output the array and then exit();
kd($arr);
// Return the HTML output instead of printing it out
$my_html = krumo($arr, KRUMO_RETURN);
// Output the array with all nodes expanded
krumo($arr, KRUMO_EXPAND_ALL);
// The object based method
$krumo = new Krumo;
$krumo->dump($arr);
Options:
These options can be passed as the second argument to Krumo to alter behavior:, (*6)
-

Krumo will work without a configuration file. If you'd like to change the default settings you can copy the krumo.sample.ini
to krumo.ini
and change the file appropriately., (*7)
