No more print_r's or var_dumps to the web browser

Here is a neat way to dump objects to the log file instead of the browser, just add the following function to your actions class

class yourActions extends sfActions

/**
other code...
**/

/**
 * Just a neater way of dumping objects to the log file instead of the browser
 * 
 * @param $foobar
 * @param $priority
 * @author Richard Udovich 
 * @return void
 * @see self::logMessage()
 */
public function logFoobar($foobar, $priority = 'info') {
 if (in_array('Doctrine_Record', class_parents($foobar))) {
  $table_name = $foobar->getTable()->getClassnameToReturn();
  $this->logMessage('Dumping '.$table_name. "\n".print_r($foobar->toArray(), true).')', 'debug');
 }
}
