PHP dump $_REQUEST to file

Question

I want to dump request variables to a file for debugging. How's this possible?

Answer 1

<?php $req_dump = print_r($_REQUEST, TRUE); $fp = fopen('request.log', 'a'); fwrite($fp, $req_dump); fclose($fp); 

Untested but should do the job, just change request.log to the file you want to write to.

Answer 2

I think nowadays this method is easier and faster:

$req_dump = print_r($_REQUEST, true); $fp = file_put_contents('request.log', $req_dump, FILE_APPEND);
