Validate and view PHP print_r outputs

What is PHPView?
PHPView is a Chrome extension specifically designed for PHP developers. This tool allows you to validate and pretty print any kind of PHP print_r output, making it easy to debug your arrays and objects. The branches that are not needed for checking can be collapsed, allowing an easier navigation over the structure. PHPView smoothly adapts the functionalities of a known JSON viewing extension, offering similar benefits for PHP development.

I'm basically adapting this great extension for JSON: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jsonview/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc

That fantastic work deserves 99% of the credit, but we, PHP developers, also needed this!

Great Extension

It will sometimes hide things which are important to know such as debug code, but other than that it works fine.

It works great! It even beautifies multiple array's shown with print_r($array); Absolutely great. Thanks! I wish I could add a screenshot, because I don't understand the negative reactions shown overhere.
