Var_dump
• The var_dump function displays structured
information about variables/expressions
• including its type and value.
• Arrays are explored recursively with values
indented to show structure.
• It also shows which array values and
object properties are references.
Print_r
• The print_r() displays information about
a variable in a way that's readable by
humans.
• array values will be presented in a
format that shows keys and elements.

print_r($obj) will display below output in the screen.

var_dump($obj) will display ,,,
object(stdClass)#1 (3) { [0]=> string(12) "qualitypoint"
