var_export

#php

Ever wanted to write an array (or anything else PHP) into a file (or anything else) but wanted to make what you write parsable by PHP (something that print and print_r doesn't do)?

Me too.

That is when I discovered: 

mixed var_export ( mixed $expression [, bool $return = false ] )

Did you know?

PHP applications still send a browser full of JavaScript. Hardening the server does not inventory the payment, analytics, and plugin scripts that run after the HTML is delivered.
