What Is var_dump Output?

var_dump() is PHP's built-in function for inspecting a variable's type and value - its output nests deeply for arrays/objects but isn't always cleanly indented, especially when copied from a terminal or log file that's stripped formatting.

Why Use This Tool?

var_dump output copied from a browser page, log file, or terminal often loses its original indentation - this tool re-parses the structure and re-indents it consistently for easier reading.

How to Use It

Review the cleanly re-indented structure.

Limitations

This handles the common var_dump output format for arrays, strings, integers, floats, booleans, and null - PHP object dumps with many custom properties are parsed on a best-effort basis.
