Display array in pre

Usually in programming, when you debugging an array you will be using the pre and print_r
This is all right when the data is small. But if the array size is very large things will be hard which is happen to me lately.

So I create a function that display the array on the list. Plus this list is collapsible and it is a very simple code. Only 2 function needed

function thejavascriptrewrite()

{

echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";

echo "

function switchme( \$theId)

{

\$theElement = document.getElementById(\$theId);

if( \$theElement.style.display == 'none'){

\$theElement.style.display = '';

}

else{

\$theElement.style.display = 'none';

}

}

";

echo "</script>";

}

function arraytolist( $data, $iteration = 0, $fortheUL = null)

{

$idName = "someCounterId";

echo "<ul $fortheUL>";

foreach( $data as $key => $value)

{

if( !is_array($value)){

echo "<li>";

echo "[$key]=".$value;

echo "</li>";

}

else{

$iteration++;

$totalArray = count( $value);

echo "<li>"."<a onclick=\"switchme('$idName".$iteration."')\">$key ($totalArray)</a>";

$forNextUL = "id='$idName".$iteration."' style='display: none;'";

$iteration = arraytolist($value, $iteration, $forNextUL);

echo "</li>";

}

}

echo "</ul>";

return $iteration;

}

How to use?

paste this code

$data = array( 'abc', 'def', 'ghi');

thejavascriptrewrite();

arraytolist($data);
