xdebug.overload_var_dump
Type: boolean, Default value: 2, Introduced in Xdebug > 2.1
By default Xdebug overloads var_dump() with its own improved version for displaying variables when the html_errors php.ini setting is set to 1 or 2. In case you do not want that, you can set this setting to 0, but check first if it’s not smarter to turn off html_errors.
You can also use 2 as value for this setting. Besides formatting the var_dump() output nicely, it will also add filename and line number to the output. The xdebug.file_link_format setting is also respected. (New in Xdebug 2.3)
Before Xdebug 2.4, the default value of this setting was 1.
This forum is too servile towards whims that some users express.
This function should be used on purpose only, and for this purpose neither string nor a path do any harm. Any suggestion how to make use this function perverted way is a disservice.
As a noob, I have to clear everything about the basics, so far, I understood that path is only coming from xdebug, this is what I want to clear my doubts.
