Can it dump RA or curse defined as :

<pre><code>
RA=[]; RA[1]=RA;
curse={re:RA}; curse.s=curse;
</code></pre>
?

If so, can the output be posted to see how it's represented?

Thanks, Zahlii! I've committed some changes to http://github.com/kvz/phpjs/raw/master/functions/var/var_dump.js . I removed a global, added support for RegExp, cleaned up the function appearance a little and added more support for other DOM node types, and cleaned up. If you want to get a string returned, use var_export() (as in PHP) with the second argument set to true. We don't currently support output buffering.

I changed that .js a bit.
Now it is able to:

* var_dump functions
* var_dump Date(s) as String

<pre><code>
function var_dump () {
    var output = &quot;&quot;, pad_char = &quot; &quot;, pad_val = 4, lgth = 0, i = 0, d = this.window.document;
    var getFuncName = function (fn) {
        var name = (/\W*function\s+([\w\$]+)\s*\(/).exec(fn);
        if (!name) {
            return '(Anonymous)';
        }
        return name[1];
    };
    var repeat_char = function (len, pad_char) {
        var str = &quot;&quot;;
        for (var i=0; i &lt; len; i++) {
            str += pad_char;
        }
        return str;
    };
    var getScalarVal = function (val) {
        var ret = '';
        if (val === null) {
            ret = 'NULL';
        }
        else if (typeof val === 'boolean') {
            ret = 'bool('+val+')';
        }
        else if (typeof val === 'string') {
            ret = 'string('+val.length+') &quot;'+val+'&quot;';
        }
        else if (typeof val === 'number') {
            if (parseFloat(val) == parseInt(val, 10)) {
                ret = 'int('+val+')';
            }
            else {
                ret = 'float('+val+')';
            }
        }
        else if (val === undefined) {
            ret = 'UNDEFINED'; // Not PHP behavior, but neither is undefined as value
        }
        else if (typeof val === 'function') {
            ret = 'FUNCTION'; // Not PHP behavior, but neither is function as value
			ret = val.toString().split(&quot;\n&quot;);
			txt = &quot;&quot;;

				txt+= (j !=0 ? thick_pad : '')+ret[j]+&quot;\n&quot;;
			}

        }
		else if(val instanceof Date) {
			val = val.toString();
			ret = 'string('+val.length+') &quot;'+val+'&quot;'
		}

        return ret;
    };
    var formatArray = function (obj, cur_depth, pad_val, pad_char) {

@Ben: Can you give the example code you used to test?
