Subject: New function: sm_print_r()
X-Git-Url: https://vcs.fsf.org/?p=squirrelmail.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=50cc40fe0544df6d560d5d1640d7141ed0b18ee0

New function: sm_print_r()
This is intended to be a debugging function.  Ever wanted to do a print_r, but found that some of the values were "eaten" by your browser's parser because they had <> in them?  Use this function instead.  It runs htmlentities() on the output of print_r() AND as a bonus wraps the entire thing in <pre> and </pre> tags.
