title: Any way to make PHP var_dump display deeper nested arrays?
body: <p>I am working on a script that takes uploaded INI files and converts them to a database.  The INI files are quite poorly written and created loops inside themselves.
  I am first converting the INIs into arrays, nested in the way that they will be inserted into database tables.
  But this means I am having 4 levels and deeper of arrays. More than var_dump will show.</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "&lt;pre&gt;";
  print_r(array);
  echo "&lt;/pre&gt;";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>works, but it's not nicely formatted, and it's cumbersome, so I am hoping var_dump can be modified somehow to be allowed to go deeper.
  Is there such an option?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>-Edit, found the answer, it was a duplicate.
  Posting as a clarification to other searchers.
  Open your php.ini, 
  find the section called <code>[xdebug]</code>
  add this to the end of the section <code>xdebug.var_display_max_depth=-1</code></p>
