If you just want information about what is in the array (for debugging purposes), you can use print_r($array) or var_dump($array), or var_export($array) to print it in PHP's array format.

If you want nicely formatted output, you might want to do something like:

 $value) {
    echo "";
  }
  ?>

  
".htmlspecialchars($name).
        "
".htmlspecialchars($value)."

This will, as you might already see, print a nicely formatted table with the names in the left column and the values in the right column.
