Three quotes are used to assign multi-line text to variable without any interpretations by shell.
Double quotes would cause text to be interpreted(variables expanded) by shell, so it is not a good choice to assign multi line text.
Single quotes is to treat text as is(I never used it to assign multi-line input).
Since this is to verify if pre defined required libs are present from a dump file created from large number of servers, I can't use diff.
I understand you feel that I could have done better.. appreciate it.

debug_zval_dump
DEBUG_ZVAL_DUMP(3) 1 DEBUG_ZVAL_DUMP(3)
debug_zval_dump - Dumps a string representation of an internal zend value to output
SYNOPSIS
void debug_zval_dump (mixed $variable, [mixed $...])
DESCRIPTION
Dumps a string representation of an internal zend value to output.
PARAMETERS
o $variable
- The variable being evaluated.
RETURN VALUES
No value is returned.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
debug_zval_dump(3) example
<?php
$var1 = 'Hello World';
$var2 = '';
$var2 =& $var1;
debug_zval_dump(&$var1);
?>
The above example will output:
&string(11) "Hello World" refcount(3)
Note
Beware the refcount
The refcount value returned by this function is non-obvious in certain circumstances. For example, a developer might expect the
above example to indicate a refcount of 2. The third reference is created when actually calling debug_zval_dump(3).
This behavior is further compounded when a variable is not passed to debug_zval_dump(3) by reference. To illustrate, consider a
slightly modified version of the above example:
Example #2
<?php
$var1 = 'Hello World';
$var2 = '';
$var2 =& $var1;
debug_zval_dump($var1); // not passed by reference, this time
?>
The above example will output:
string(11) "Hello World" refcount(1)
Why refcount(1)? Because a copy of $var1 is being made, when the function is called.
This function becomes even more confusing when a variable with a refcount of 1 is passed (by copy/value):
Example #3
<?php
$var1 = 'Hello World';
debug_zval_dump($var1);
?>
The above example will output:
string(11) "Hello World" refcount(2)
A refcount of 2, here, is extremely non-obvious. Especially considering the above examples. So what's happening?
When a variable has a single reference (as did $var1 before it was used as an argument to debug_zval_dump(3)), PHP's engine opti-
mizes the manner in which it is passed to a function. Internally, PHP treats $var1 like a reference (in that the refcount is
increased for the scope of this function), with the caveat that if the passed reference happens to be written to, a copy is made,
but only at the moment of writing. This is known as "copy on write."
So, if debug_zval_dump(3) happened to write to its sole parameter (and it doesn't), then a copy would be made. Until then, the
parameter remains a reference, causing the refcount to be incremented to 2 for the scope of the function call.
