Use like this:
echo dumpr(‘NAME’,$var);
echo dumpr(‘SESSION’,$_SESSION);
etc..

Displays a nicely formatted table, with values of a string / array / object clearly displayed.

I end up keeping 2 versions, compressed and uncompressed, etc.. But how about compressing all your CSS files into one file, ‘on-the-fly’. Now that has solved the problem.

?View Code PHP
<?php
 
header('Content-type: text/css');
 
ob_start("compress");
 
function compress($buffer) {
  /* remove comments */
  $buffer = preg_replace('!/\*[^*]*\*+([^/][^*]*\*+)*/!', '', $buffer);
  /* remove tabs, spaces, newlines, etc. */
  $buffer = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n", "\t", '  ', '    ', '    '), '', $buffer);
  return $buffer;
}
 
/* your css files */
include('master.css');
include('typography.css');
include('grid.css');
include('print.css');
include('handheld.css');
 
ob_end_flush();
