cakephp log an array as var_dump
I need to jump into a server side code. It is used cakephp there. I would like to see a variable, I think it is a model, but I am not sure, let be a variable in or case.
CakeLog::write('debug', 'myArray'.var_export($myArray) );
it will have the output
myArray: Array
I would like to see similar output as var_dump can produce to the output.
Is that possible? if yes, than how?
Any help apreciated.

Just use print_r, it accepts a second argument not to output the result.
CakeLog::write('debug', 'myArray'.print_r($myArray, true) );
And if you don't want new lines, tabs or double spaces in your log files:
$log = print_r($myArray, true);
$log = str_replace(array("\n","\t"), " ", $log);
$log = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ',$log);
CakeLog::write('debug', 'myArray' . $log);

Try:
CakeLog::write('debug', 'myArray'.print_r($myArray, true));
The true parameter makes print_r return the value rather than print on screen, so you can save it.
