I wanted to send the output the PHP function print_r() by mail().
Usually  print_r() prints the result instead of returning it back
as a string. The solution I found was:

     ob_start();
     print_r($foo);
     $data = ob_get_contents();
     ob_end_clean();


Later I discovered print_r()'s second parameter.  Setting  it  to
true changes print_r() exactly in the way I wanted.

That's the difference between concentrated documentation  reading
and quick web searches.
