Why don't you just build a simple function and TELL it?

/**
 * Prints out $obj for debug
 *
 * @param any_type $obj
 * @param (string) $title
 */
function print_all( $obj, $title = false )
{
    print "\n
\n";
    if( $title ) print "
$title
\n";
    print "
\n\n";
    var_export( $obj );
    print "\n\n
\n
\n";
}

print_all( $aUser, '$aUser' );
