The Shift Exchange's answer will show you the details on the page, but if you wish to log these variables without stopping the processing of the request, you should use the inbuilt Log class:
You can log at various "levels" and when combined with PHP's print_r() function inspect all manner of variables and arrays in a human-readable fashion:
// log one variable at "info" logging level:
Log::info("Logging one variable: " . $variable);
// log an array - don't forget to pass 'true' to print_r():
Log::info("Logging an array: " . print_r($array, true));
The . above between the strings is important, and used to join the strings together into one argument.
By default these will be logged to the file here:
/app/storage/log/laravel.log
