Make var_dump’s and print_r’s more readable
Function output references with <a href="http://queryposts.com" rel="nofollow ugc">http://queryposts.com</a> API when possible.
<ul>
<li>Use <code>r</code> instead of <code>var_dump</code></li>
<li>Use <code>rt</code> for text mode.</li>
</ul>
For example:
<pre><code>r($GLOBALS['wp_query']->get_posts());
rt($GLOBALS['wp_query']->get_posts());
</code></pre>
Notes :
<ul>
<li>Probably doesn’t work in ie</li>
<li>Don’t use this on a production site but you probably already know that</li>
<li>More usage <a href="https://github.com/digitalnature/php-ref" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/digitalnature/php-ref</a></li>

All the work was done by <a href="https://github.com/digitalnature" rel="nofollow ugc">digitalnature</a> I just wrapped it into a WordPress plugin and changed the look for inline debugging.
