[](https://codecov.io/gh/sebastianbergmann/exporter) # sebastian/exporter This component provides the functionality to export PHP variables for visualization. ## Installation You can add this library as a local, per-project dependency to your project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/): ``` composer require sebastian/exporter ``` If you only need this library during development, for instance to run your project's test suite, then you should add it as a development-time dependency: ``` composer require --dev sebastian/exporter ``` ## Usage Exporting: ```php <?php use SebastianBergmann\Exporter\Exporter; $exporter = new Exporter; /* Exception Object &0000000078de0f0d000000002003a261 ( 'message' => '' 'string' => '' 'code' => 0 'file' => '/home/sebastianbergmann/test.php' 'line' => 34 'previous' => null ) */ print $exporter->export(new Exception); ``` ## Data Types Exporting simple types: ```php <?php use SebastianBergmann\Exporter\Exporter; $exporter = new Exporter; // 46 print $exporter->export(46); // 4.0 print $exporter->export(4.0); // 'hello, world!' print $exporter->export('hello, world!'); // false print $exporter->export(false); // NAN print $exporter->export(acos(8)); // -INF print $exporter->export(log(0)); // null print $exporter->export(null); // resource(13) of type (stream) print $exporter->export(fopen('php://stderr', 'w')); // Binary String: 0x000102030405 print $exporter->export(chr(0) . chr(1) . chr(2) . chr(3) . chr(4) . chr(5)); ``` Exporting complex types: ```php <?php use SebastianBergmann\Exporter\Exporter; $exporter = new Exporter; /* Array &0 ( 0 => Array &1 ( 0 => 1 1 => 2 2 => 3 ) 1 => Array &2 ( 0 => '' 1 => 0 2 => false ) ) */ print $exporter->export(array(array(1,2,3), array("",0,FALSE))); /* Array &0 ( 'self' => Array &1 ( 'self' => Array &1 ) ) */ $array = array(); $array['self'] = &$array; print $exporter->export($array); /* stdClass Object &0000000003a66dcc0000000025e723e2 ( 'self' => stdClass Object &0000000003a66dcc0000000025e723e2 ) */ $obj = new stdClass(); $obj->self = $obj; print $exporter->export($obj); ``` Compact exports: ```php <?php use SebastianBergmann\Exporter\Exporter; $exporter = new Exporter; // Array () print $exporter->shortenedExport(array()); // Array (...) print $exporter->shortenedExport(array(1,2,3,4,5)); // stdClass Object () print $exporter->shortenedExport(new stdClass); // Exception Object (...) print $exporter->shortenedExport(new Exception); // this\nis\na\nsuper\nlong\nstring\nt...\nspace print $exporter->shortenedExport( <<<LONG_STRING this is a super long string that wraps a lot and eats up a lot of space LONG_STRING ); ``` ", Assign "at
