I have this PHP code here:

$info = array();

if($this->build) {
    $info['price_type'] = 'build';
} else if($this->zip) {
    $info['is_co'] = r_check_is_co_zip($this->zip);
    $info['idS'] = r_find_ids_near($this->zip);
    etc etc....
}

$f = fopen(CORE_ROOT . '/../pc/debuging.txt', 'a');
fwrite($f, "***ZIPCode DEBUG***" . "\r\n");
fwrite($f, "*date/time: " . date("F j, Y, g:i a") . "*" . "\r\n");
foreach($info as $q) {
    fwrite($f, $q . "\r\n");
}
fwrite($f, "***************************" . "\r\n");
fclose($f);

When i try to loop through the array for $info i never get anything but "Array". What could i be doing incorrectly?

Seems like info contains arrays then –  Jeroen Moons Sep 11 '12 at 13:37

For testing purposes try foreach($info as $name=>$q) { fwrite($f, $name.'='.var_export($q, true) . "\r\n"); } –  VolkerK Sep 11 '12 at 13:38
 
On an unrelated note, wouldn't it be a better idea to use constants for end of line( PHP_EOL), and directory separator( DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR) since you are doing file manipulations? –  Awemo Sep 11 '12 at 14:06

You can use print_r($q, true); or var_export($q, true);:

$info = array();

if($this->build) {
    $info['price_type'] = 'build';
} else if($this->zip) {
    $info['is_co'] = r_check_is_co_zip($this->zip);
    $info['idS'] = r_find_ids_near($this->zip);
    etc etc....
}

$f = fopen(CORE_ROOT . '/../pc/debuging.txt', 'a');
fwrite($f, "***ZIPCode DEBUG***" . "\r\n");
fwrite($f, "*date/time: " . date("F j, Y, g:i a") . "*" . "\r\n");
foreach($info as $q) {
    $toWrite = print_r($q, true);
    fwrite($f, $toWrite . "\r\n");
}
fwrite($f, "***************************" . "\r\n");
fclose($f);
