php get_defined_vars,PHP: get_defined_vars - Manual

Here is a function which generates a debug report for display or email

using get_defined_vars. Great for getting a detailed snapshot without

relying on user input.

// Usage: generateDebugReport(method,get_defined_vars(),email[optional]);

// Where method is "browser" or "email".

// Create an ignore list for keys returned by 'get_defined_vars'.

// For example, HTTP_POST_VARS, HTTP_GET_VARS and others are

// redundant (same as _POST, _GET)

// Also include vars you want ignored for security reasons - i.e. PHPSESSID.$ignorelist=array("HTTP_POST_VARS","HTTP_GET_VARS","HTTP_COOKIE_VARS","HTTP_SERVER_VARS","HTTP_ENV_VARS","HTTP_SESSION_VARS","_ENV","PHPSESSID","SESS_DBUSER","SESS_DBPASS","HTTP_COOKIE");$timestamp=date("m/d/y h:m:s");$message="Debug report created$timestamp\n";// Get the last SQL error for good measure, where $link is the resource identifier

// for mysql_connect. Comment out or modify for your database or abstraction setup.global$link;$sql_error=mysql_error($link);

if($sql_error){$message.="\nMysql Messages:\n".mysql_error($link);

}// End MySQL

// Could use a recursive function here. You get the idea ;-)foreach($defined_varsas$key=>$val){

if(is_array($val) && !in_array($key,$ignorelist) &&count($val) >0){$message.="\n$keyarray (key=value):\n";

foreach($valas$subkey=>$subval){

if(!in_array($subkey,$ignorelist) && !is_array($subval)){$message.=$subkey." = ".$subval."\n";

}

elseif(!in_array($subkey,$ignorelist) &&is_array($subval)){

if(!in_array($subsubkey,$ignorelist)){$message.=$subsubkey." = ".$subsubval."\n";

}

}
