I've used it with debug_backtrace() var_export(debug_backtrace(), true) ... it outputs all information on the screen before nesting level error.

A more correct handling should be to just raise the php fatal error, not output the partial string. (sensitive data might be accidentally shown, for example) Test script: --------------- $recursive = array(); $recursive[] = &$recursive; $test = var_export($recursive, true); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in test.php on line x Actual result: -------------- array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array ( Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in test.php on line x ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51362&edit=1
