If you have ever used ColdFusion you would certainly agree with me that its tag (cfdump) has a much better representation/output of a variable and its contents than PHP's var_dump which only outputs horrible structured information. It's very difficult to view at a glance the contents of a large array with var_dump. Well, dBug is the the equivalent of PHP's cfdump. ColdFusion programmers would be happy to note that the same color scheme is used as the default scheme for dBug. And well, PHP programmers would be happy to note that they can at last see contents of a variable much easier with dBug.
