Strange broken var_dump loop ends with ... string (#)

Question

   &nbsp;$nbsp;&nbs"...
string(8) "result 2"

This is part of the result from a var_dumped $result generated from fetched sql query.

I simply wonder what is the specific meaning of "..." when it suppose to keep generating more $nbsp; and one more $nbsp; after and a name string (i.e. "David"), while it just shows "..." instead. The whole loops seems stuck right there.

I did not see any special character that is inside the name itself, so I don't see why php can not parse the name string.

I can not find trouble within logic of the code nor in the database table.

I think this "..." and the missing p;in expected result could be the key hint of the issue.

enter image description here

Var_dumped result was for a list item (i.e. <ul><li>$nbsp;$nbsp;$nbsp;MrAdam<li></ul> Any help will be appreciated!

Thank you

This `"..."` probably mean it has more content to show but for some reason it doesn't. — Rahil Wazir, May 09 '14 at 15:26
@ Rahil Wazir thanks for the hint! and I particularly do not understand, what scenarios are causing this ... to happen, specifically, for my case, its inside a list. — ey dee ey em, May 09 '14 at 15:28
The only response `var_dump` is spitting is `string(8) "result 2"` the ` ...` text is not part of the `var_dump` output — Rahil Wazir, May 09 '14 at 15:42

Thanks Rahil, for following up on the question, the question you asked bring me attention to something I did not pay attention of.

I should not have used var_dump. echo() is the one I should have used.

Resolved!

Thanks!
