How to write the result of dd() to a variable?

Question

symfony

I want to display the contents of the variable beautifully, passing it to html via api. I want the same html as dd does.

How to do it?

Answer 1

dd()is just a wrapper over the VarDumper::dump(), so the source of this html is obvious to you.
Any capture of output in PHP is done through the output buffering control .

Answer 2

Symphony also has dump($yourVar).
