This function recursively displays the contents of any single, multi- or mixed-dimensional array in tab-indented format, where you may specify the tab character/string to use along with the overall indentation, with defaults used if specification is missing.
Use to view contents of $_POST, $_SERVER, or other arrays during debugging.
