How to display all session variables

Yeah thats what I thought too Cristian

I must admit I have used print_r and var_dump since I started programming in PHP, and it is helping me out with my current web project which I decided to build using CodeIgniter quite a learning curve for me at the moment, so you will no doubt see some fairly newbie qustions around this forum from me. actually, that raises a question, I have a few useful functions that I use routinely for debugging web projects to such an extent that I put together a funcs.php file which I just included in whatever I was working on whilst developing a site, In CI however, you can't include files in the same way, could useful code snippets like the print_r and the var_dump statements be added in such a way as to make them globally available within a CI project(normally in a traditional XHTML/PHP/MySQL site I would include the funcs.php file and just call them individually as functions) so I would have a function like

Code:

function show_array($array)
{
  echo '<pre';
  print_r($array};
  echo '</pre>';
}

and just call it with

Code:

show_array($_POST};

show_array($_SESSION);

show_array($any-other-array);

and so on, by doing it this way it made looking inside arrays very easy and could well help ppl like fserrano and me and others avoid typos

What are your thoughts on this
