How can I do the same thing in Ruby?" If so, please supply values for AAA and BBB (or at *least* AAA) and I'd be happy to help. Answer #2: http://www.google.com/search?q=ruby+var_dump ...and since I see "PHP" in the title of the first search result, I feel compelled to point out that this mailing list is for "Ruby" (the programming language), not "Ruby on Rails" (the web development framework that uses Ruby the language to get some stuff done). In case var_dump() is a PHP function that is web related (and not something part of the core language).
