Why not writing your own custom php function for that purpose ?
Also for debugging var_dump is sometimes more useful than print_r.

Description:
------------
You could add an additional third parameter to print_r() function in order to
limit the nesting level of output.
Instead of showing all levels of nested arrays/objects, it could be limited to
N nesting levels.
If I only want to know my simple class member variables (with 3 or 4 of them)
of an object but the object has members with "references/alias" to other big
objects/classes, the screen is filled with a lot of (in this case) useless
information.
If I could limit in this case the output to 1 or 2 nesting levels it would be
much easier for me to debug.
If this third parameter were ommitted or zero, the whole tree would be shown
(as done now).
