I think I just realized how restrictive my web host is when they wouldn't let me use cfdump. This actually kind of angers me, cause really, what harm is dump going to do? Anyway my question is has anyone written a cfdump alternative that will kick out complex types of data or can link me to a site with a code example? Can't really used cfc's or udfs either cause guess what, they're blocked too. Anyway looking for something simple that I can just paste in my cfml and I will be happy. It's sad that I used to be able to do this, but have forgotten a lot of that skillset since I moved into Flex and AS.
oh and they're using cf7, so no cf8 or 9 tricks ;-)
Thanks in advance.
@Sean Corfield is right -- switch hosts.
In the meantime, there was a custom tag called "cf_dump" from the era of CF4. I have no idea if it will work on 7, but you could always try to get it working.
