A batch file for quickly dumping PHP expressions

phpdump.cmd

@SETLOCAL
@SET expr=%*
@SET expr=%expr:"=\"%
@IF ^%expr:~-1%==^; SET expr=%expr:~0,-1%
@php -r "var_dump(%expr%);"

::A few examples:
::phpdump PHP_OS         // "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
::phpdump ord("\n")      // double quotation marks don't produce errors
::phpdump hexdec('ff');  // trailing semicolon should be omitted, yet it is supported for convenience
::phpdump 'dammit' == 0  // loose comparisons are fun sometimes: this one evaluates to true

::Thanks to the variadic signature of var_dump(),
::You can dump several expressions in one go:
::phpdump PHP_OS, ord("\n"), 'dammit' == 0

::Because assignments are indeed expressions,
::You can even use variables:
::phpdump $a=1, $b=2, $a+$b
