print_r() and var_dump() are very usefull for debugging!

I have an extra class for errors, for logging and so on...
I would be very usefull when print_r() and/or var_dump() could return a string containig the informaition, cause normally will be directly printed to screen, and I can't bring that into an log-file.
I can read out the information by self (while...each($object)), but if print_r() and/or var_dump() directly could do this it would be more better.

Bye & Thanks
  Dante

You probably better use output buffering. There's no real need to make all functions in 2 versions - output and string, if you have output buffering that can do it.

right, thus closed
