I have a class, that actually operates over a complicated array to make the manipulation more simple. The format of original array looks like this:
array(
array(
"name" =>"foo",
"type" =>8, //The array is NBT format and 8 stands for string
"value" =>"somevalue"
)
}
The class takes array like above as constructor:
class NBT_traverser implements ArrayAccess {
function __construct(&$array) {
$this->array = $array;
}
}
Then, this is how the members are accessed:
$parser = new NBT_traverser($somearray);
echo $parser["foo"]; //"somevalue"
When I print_R
the class, I get the list of its values and the original complicated array. Like this:
object(NBT_traverser)#2 (1) {
["nbt":"NBT_traverser":private]=> &array(1) {
/*Tons of ugly array contents*/
}
Instead, I'd like to get this like the output of print_r
:
array(
"foo" => "somevalue"
)
Is it possible to trick the print_r
to do this? Current behavior makes it harder to debug with the class, than without it.
Of course, I can write my own method to print it, but I want to make the usage more simple for the users of the class. Instead, I wanted to give print_R
something, that It will print as array.
You should not have issues if you are extending
ArrayAccess
just write a method to get your valuesExample
