PHP - Full XML in var_dump

Question

Good afternoon, I’m looking forward to seeing xml complete from a SOAP web service response, but when I put var_dump shows only half of it, the other part is replaced by the word "... (length=740)". How do I see it complete?

Answer 1

Print xml from a file_get_contents is possible with a simple echo

$file = file_get_contents('http://example.com/rss');
echo $file;

There are two more ways:

print ($file);

or using the asXML method:

$xml->asXML('filename.xml');

To work with asXML you must have a Simplexmlelement object that can be seen in this decommissioning: Link

OBS: if you have Xdebug installed it will truncate the result of var_dump to prevent browser crashes, this is the information link Link

There is a number of Settings that control the output of Xdebug’s modified var_dump() Function: Xdebug.var_display_max_children, Xdebug.var_display_max_data and Xdebug.var_display_max_depth.
