How to print an array /object in magento

Question

On Magento I have tried

   Mage::log ($order);

I suppose to get the array printed on my

   var/log/system.log

But instead the website does not load again, after few min it comes as timed out.

You are doing it right. The problem is that and order object is huge because of the references to other objects and is not a good idea to print it. Print only the data you need. — Marius

I am not sure what data are available in the array unless I print it. Could you please give me an example.. — m82amjad

Try printing this: Mage::log(array_keys($order->getData())). This should print you a simple array with keys of the order model instance. Then pick your key and just log this Mage::log($order->getData($key)). — Marius

Following print the entire array in to MyArray.log

   Mage::log("Query product: ".print_r($order->debug(), true),null,'MyArray.log');

MyArray.log can be found in

   var/log/MyArray.log

The following Prints the array Keys

   Mage::log(array_keys($order->getData()));

Try that: Zend_Debug::dump($your_variable);

And this is one of the best posts about that in my opinion: MAGENTO DEBUGGING HINTS
