dump() - Javascript equivalent of PHP's print_r()
This function in just came in very handy for debugging purposes. It's a javascript function that basically mimics print_r in PHP.
/**
* Function : dump()
* Arguments: The data - array,hash(associative array),object
* The level - OPTIONAL
* Returns : The textual representation of the array.
* This function was inspired by the print_r function of PHP.
* This will accept some data as the argument and return a
* text that will be a more readable version of the
* array/hash/object that is given.
* Docs: http://www.openjs.com/scripts/others/dump_function_php_print_r.php

function dump(arr,level) {
var dumped_text = "";
if(!level) level = 0;
//The padding given at the beginning of the line.
var level_padding = "";
for(var j=0;j \"" + value + "\"\n";
}
}
} else { //Stings/Chars/Numbers etc.
dumped_text = "===>"+arr+"<===("+typeof(arr)+")";
}
return dumped_text;
}
