According to this article, http://devzone.zend.com/article/2803, var_dump is supposed to beautify the outputs.
I have installed xdebug on my local host with PHP Version 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.2. I have this in my php.ini outputs.
This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine: Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies with Xdebug v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2010, by Derick Rethans
However when I use var_dump(), nothing changes.
Does xdebug really beautify the var_dump outputs?
If so, how can I fix it?
This is my details of xdebug in php.ini
