PHP code works, but dumps a large PHP object

[freebrowser1]

Install from: composer require khanamiryan/qrcode-detector-decoder. Created a file qr.php in the working folder where composer.json resides:

<?php
require __DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php";
use Zxing\QrReader;

//require_once(dirname(__FILE__). "src
if ($argc > 0) {
    $qrcode = new QrReader($argv[1]);
    var_dump( $qrcode);
//return decoded text from QR Code
} else {
    echo nl2br($argv[0] . " path_to_image\n");
}

Run from the working folder where composer.json resides: That results in 350000 lines of vomit starting and not the actual contents of the QR.

Try var_dump( $qrcode->text());
