echo the results of print_r using PHP

Question

Can someone teach me how to echo the results of this PHP array? Sorry but I’m just a beginner so I don’t know how to echo the results by print_r. Thanks in advance.

Here is the test result.

)

Here is my PHP script.

<?
require_once('googlePlaces.php');
//Searching a new place
$gplaces = New GooglePlaces;
$gplaces->SetLocation("43.612631,-116.211076");
$gplaces->SetRadius(50000);
$gplaces->SetTypes("bank");
$results = $gplaces->Search();


if($results[status] = "OK")
{
    $num_of_results = count($results[results]);

    $result_counter = 1;
    foreach($results[results] as $key=>$current_result)
        {
            if($result_counter >= 5)
                {
                    continue;   
                }

            $gplaces->SetReference($current_result[reference]);
            $details_result = $gplaces->Details();
            echo "<pre>";
            print_r($details_result);
            echo "</pre>";
            echo "<hr>";

            $result_counter++;
        }
}
?>

In its simplest form:

echo '<pre>', htmlspecialchars(print_r($details_result, true)), '</pre>';

That would take care of necessary HTML escaping. If you have any binary data in there and you're using utf8 encoding on the page, you would need to clean the string even more.

You use commas instead of dots ;p – rlatief Feb 01 '13 at 05:27
@rlatief and your point is? – Ja͢ck Feb 01 '13 at 05:28
`echo '
' , $foo , '
';` is valid? – rlatief Feb 01 '13 at 05:34

@rlatief why are you asking us, why don't you test it out and see that it works? See [this](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php#example-4645) and the specific examples `echo $foo,$bar;` and `echo 'This ', 'string ', 'was ', 'made ', 'with multiple parameters.', chr(10);` – kittycat Feb 01 '13 at 05:38

not on my PC right now. Well ok, learned something new today :p – rlatief Feb 01 '13 at 05:47
@AllanRivera You can `print_r()` anything you like, if that's what you mean. – Ja͢ck Feb 01 '13 at 06:10

echo $details_result['result']['address_components'][0]['long_name'] ;

OR

foreach($details_result['result']['address_components'] as $res){
   echo $res['long_name'];
   echo "<br>";
}

$address = $details_result['result']['formatted_address']; $phone_number = $details_result['result']['formatted_phone_number']; $latitude = $details_result['result']['geometry']['location']['lat']; $longitude = $details_result['result']['geometry']['location']['lng']; $international_phone_number = $details_result['result']['international_phone_number']; $name = $details_result['result']['name']; $url = $details_result['result']['url']; $website = $details_result['result']['website']; – sai Feb 02 '13 at 00:57
