var_export

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

var_export输出或返回一个变量的字符串表示

说明

var_export ( mixed $expression [, bool $return = FALSE ] ) : mixed

var_export() 函数返回关于传递给该函数的变量的结构信息,它和 var_dump() 函数类似,不同的是其返回的表示是合法的 PHP 代码。

参数

expression

想要输出的变量名。

return

此参数为 TRUE 时,var_export() 将返回一个变量,而不是输出它。

返回值

参数 returnTRUE 时返回变量,否则返回 NULL

注释

Note:

当使用了return 参数时,本函数使用其内部输出缓冲,因此不能在 ob_start() 回调函数的内部使用。

更新日志

版本 说明
7.3.0 Now exports stdClass objects as an array cast to an object ((object) array( ... )), rather than using the nonexistent method stdClass::__setState(). The practical effect is that now stdClass is exportable, and the resulting code will even work on earlier versions of PHP.

范例

Example #1 var_export() 示例

<?php
$a 
= array (12, array ("a""b""c"));
var_export($a);
?>

以上例程会输出:

array (
  0 => 1,
  1 => 2,
  2 => 
  array (
    0 => 'a',
    1 => 'b',
    2 => 'c',
  ),
)
<?php

$b 
3.1;
$v var_export($btrue);
echo 
$v;

?>

以上例程会输出:

3.1

Example #2 输出类 stdClass (自 PHP 7.3.0 起)

<?php
$person 
= new stdClass;
$person->name 'ElePHPant ElePHPantsdotter';
$person->website 'https://php.net/elephpant.php';

var_export($person);

以上例程会输出:

(object) array(
   'name' => 'ElePHPant ElePHPantsdotter',
   'website' => 'https://php.net/elephpant.php',
)

Example #3 输出对象 (自 PHP 5.1.0 起)

<?php
class { public $var; }
$a = new A;
$a->var 5;
var_export($a);
?>

以上例程会输出:

A::__set_state(array(
   'var' => 5,
))

Example #4 使用 __set_state() (自 PHP 5.1.0 起)

<?php
class A
{
    public 
$var1;
    public 
$var2;

    public static function 
__set_state($an_array)
    {
        
$obj = new A;
        
$obj->var1 $an_array['var1'];
        
$obj->var2 $an_array['var2'];
        return 
$obj;
    }
}

$a = new A;
$a->var1 5;
$a->var2 'foo';

eval(
'$b = ' var_export($atrue) . ';'); // $b = A::__set_state(array(
                                            //    'var1' => 5,
                                            //    'var2' => 'foo',
                                            // ));
var_dump($b);
?>

以上例程会输出:

object(A)#2 (2) {
  ["var1"]=>
  int(5)
  ["var2"]=>
  string(3) "foo"
}

注释

Note:

类型为 resource 的变量无法通过此函数输出。

Note:

var_export() does not handle circular references as it would be close to impossible to generate parsable PHP code for that. If you want to do something with the full representation of an array or object, use serialize().

Warning

When var_export() exports objects, the leading backslash is not included in the class name of namespaced classes for maximum compatibility.

Note:

To be able to evaluate the PHP generated by var_export(), all processed objects must implement the magic __set_state method. The only exception is stdClass, which is exported using an array cast to an object.
