helpers\BaseVarDumper export()

Exports a variable as a string representation.

The string is a valid PHP expression that can be evaluated by PHP parser and the evaluation result will give back the variable value.

This method is similar to var_export(). The main difference is that it generates more compact string representation using short array syntax.

It also handles objects by using the PHP functions serialize() and unserialize().

PHP 5.4 or above is required to parse the exported value.
