pretty printer for PHP
More condensed and informative format than print_r or var_dump. Also prints accessible static properties, and constants. More detailed html format or slim console format, with or without phpdoc inprint, (*1)
There are some bindings in separate files to include so you can have the simplest printer commands, (*2)
/** * the pretty printer * I will print all kinds of data in a condensed but nice format * I will print constants and static properties of objects as well * I will detect cycle references in objects (but not in arrays) * I will stop at a certain depth level so array recursion is caught as well * @param mixed $param I will print this nicely * @param boolean $returnOnly if true, I only return in a string, otherwise I print * @param int $indent what I print will be indented this much * @param int $maxDepth print no deeper than this but print *DEPTH LIMIT* instead. 0 means no limit * @param boolean $isHtml if true I'll do some HTML formatting (<pre> and <b> tags ) * @param boolean $phpDoc if true, it will look for phpdoc tags of all properties etc * @return string|void */

1.3.2 2015-03-26 fix composer.json, some prettify, bump, (*3)
1.3.1 2014-09-05 added type library to composer.json, (*4)
1.3 2014-09-05 made packagist friendly added new binding "echon" which always returns printout, (*5)
1.2 2014-08-20 added license fixed: not passing $phpDoc parameter recursively binding functions are now in separate files, (*6)
1.1 2012-11-11 echop() moved inside EchoPrinter class to encapsulate it and its utilities can look up and print PhpDoc comments on vars, (*7)
1.0 2012-10-17 initial version, (*8)
my first echop() implementation only wrapped print_r, with optional second parameter value of 2, making script to dump and die. I've got addicted as I could write the word 'echop' much faster than print_r or var_dump... this was 15 years ago. since then it evolved a bit and lately also served some experiments like 'put something on composer', (*9)
