var_dump() output in a variable

Is is possible I can assign output of var_dump($var) to a variable? As a default behavior, var_dump() just prints output on screen. I want to append or assign its output to other variable and then output that later on. Like:

$a = true;
$b = var_dump($a);
echo $b;
Solution

  • Or you could just use 

    $content=var_export($variable,true)
echo $content;
