This function will return a nice tree-view of an array. It's like var_dump but much prettier :-) 
Very useful to analyze an array while debugging. 
function parray($array,$prep = '') { 
/* (c) by Roland Tapken <[email protected]> */ 
$prep = "$prep|"; 
while(list($key,$val) = each($array)) { 
$type = gettype($val); 
if(is_array($val)) { 
$line = "-+ $key ($type)\n"; 
$line .= parray($val,"$prep "); 
} else { 
$line = "-&gt; $key = \"$val\" ($type)\n"; 
} 
$ret .= $prep.$line; 
} 
return $ret; 
} 

Example:
$array = array("test",2,array("foo" => "bar"), 4.23); 
echo "<pre>"; 
echo parray($array); 
echo "</pre>"; 
This will print: 
|-> 0 = "test" (string) 
|-> 1 = "2" (integer) 
|-+ 2 (array) 
| |-> foo = "bar" (string) 
|-> 3 = "4.23" (double)
