About the simplest way to accomplish what you want is :
<pre>
<?php print_r($var) ?>
</pre>
\newlines don't show up in browser but will in the source, check your html
source and see how pretty it is (full of newlines).
Here's an example :
$string = "a\nb\nc\n";
print $string; (newlines in source)
print nl2br($string); (newlines and <br>'s in source)
Regarding print_r(), use <pre> as suggested above or you _could_ do other
things but we'll worry about later :)
