I added specific licensing terms ( MIT style ) – http://code.google.com/p/php-helpers/source/browse/trunk/license.txt. There’s also a changelog available to see when functions were added.

With that out of the way here’s the next PHP Helpers function, html_print_r:

if ( !function_exists( 'html_print_r' ) ) {
    function html_print_r( $data ) {
        $out = "\n<pre class='html-print-r'";
        $out .= " style='border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 7px;'>\n";
        $out .= esc_html( print_r( $data, TRUE ) );
        $out .= "\n</pre>\n";

        return $out;
    }
}

I added this because I use PHP’s print_r in an HTML context quite a bit. To make the output look reasonable I was always adding PRE tags, which got boring fast.
