Derick just added a new function called var_export which does exactly what you want. It will
 be in PHP-4.2.0.

It would be very nice to have a var_dump() that returns the variable dump as a string instea
d of printing it.  Using var_dump() for verbose logging is mighty handy, but having to (ab)u
se output buffering to catch the var dump feels bad.

(I looked briefly at the implementation of var_dump(), and making a "svar_dump()" seemed out
 of my C league, unfortunately.)
