I haven't a monkies what that code(your java) does, and I don't have time to analyse it(in expensive cybercafe), but you may want to consider www.php.net/print-r www.php.net/var-dump and www.php.net/var-export I think they may do what you want without using the toString method, which for what you're describing is basicly an ugly hack. One more thing: Enlighten me: What exactly do you mean by "live evolution" in your php/java context.
