[PHP] Feature request for print_r() and var_dump()

[Daevid Vincent]

I suggest a slight but useful change to these two functions, or possibly an
alternate parameter.

I find myself always having to do this annoyance:

echo "<B>myDevice</B><BR>";
print_r($myDevice);

To get:

myDevice
Array
(
    [3333] => Array
        (
            [range] => range_3
            [scanner] => scanner_3
            [record] => record_3
        )

    [4444] => Array
        (
            [range] => range_4
            [scanner] => scanner_4
            [record] => record_4
        )
)

It seems to me the functions should just print out the name of the array
you're looking at, at the very top, just as it prints out the keys. I
already know it's an "Array" or I wouldn't be print_r()'ing it.
