As of PHP 4.3.0, there is an optional second parameter to the print_r function which is a boolean dictating whether the output from print_r is actually output (default) or returned as a string.

Your example can be therefore slightly altered to something more like:

PHP Code:


			
$aArray = array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four');
// Return print_r output, log to custom log file debug.log
error_log(print_r($aArray, true), 3, 'debug.log');
