PHP print_r Function

What is print_r Function and how it is used in string?

Explanation

print_r function displays the information about a variable in a way that's readable by humans in PHP.

Syntax:


print_r(expression,return)

In the above printr syntax "expression" is to be printed, "return" used to print the return value.

Example :


<?php
$s = array ( array ("name" => "Sam", "Last" => "Anderson"),
array ("City" => "Dallas", "State" => "Texas"));
print_r ($s);
?>
Result :

Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Sam [Last] => Anderson )
[1] => Array ( [City] => Dallas [State] => Texas )
)

In the above example for string, we can see that mulitiple arrays are printed in detail, so the printr function goes through each and every detail of the array.

NOTE:


The "printr" is actually not a function so no need to use the parenthesis.
