          2 =>

Answer 1

You need to change your Xdebug settings, take a look at the http://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings page:

xdebug.var_display_max_children
xdebug.var_display_max_data
xdebug.var_display_max_depth

Add settings to your php.ini or xdebug.ini. For your case is xdebug.var_display_max_depth=-1 to have maximum nesting level.

Here's the quick copy and paste answer for those using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server

sudo vi /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini

# paste the following to the file
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.var_display_max_children=-1
xdebug.var_display_max_data=-1
xdebug.var_display_max_depth=-1

Save and exit.

# for apache2 server
sudo service apache2 restart

# for nginx
sudo service php5-fpm restart
