Hi internals,
I've created https://wiki.php.net/rfc/readable_var_representation based on
my original proposal in https://externals.io/message/112924
This RFC proposes adding a new function `var_representation(mixed $value, int
$flags=0): string`
My hesitation remains that this is just duplicating existing
functionality with only cosmetic differences.
As a user of PHP 8.1, how would I decide whether to use print_r,
var_dump, var_export, or var_representation?
And under what circumstances would I bother to write
"var_representation($var, VAR_REPRESENTATION_SINGLE_LINE);"?
Regards,
