I would change the above the the following:

if ( empty($pmatch) || ( strpos($key, $pmatch) === 0 ) ) {
print "$key = $value<br />";
}

it would be slightly faster



love the "skin the cat" game!

What I like about this Jim is that the strpos() could be changed to allow a "contains" argument rather than a "begins with" argument...
for example if you wanted to find all variable names containing 'foo'.

Something like:


if ( empty($pmatch) || (( strpos($tkey, $pmatch) === 0 ) || ( strpos($tkey, $pmatch) > 0 ))) {
  print "$key = $value<br />";
}

t_foo
foo_t
t_foo_t

would all be found.

Thanks!
Donovan
