Now its available for PHP. Check it out here.

PHP has built-in functions like var_dump() and print_r() but of course the output isn't as nice as CFDUMP and you don't have nested array folding etc with the built-in functions.
<cfdump>
<cflog>
<cfflush>
:)
/* code modified from ColdFusion's cfdump code */
Don't forget the the dump tag was originally written for ASP and ported over to CF (back in the CF4 days) by a company called SmartObjects (http://www.smart-objects.com/cf_dump/).
I worked for a company developing CF apps in 2000 who used it all the time for projects they were working on (both ASP and CF). I still have a copy of version 1.3 here on my PC (and it still works too). When CF5 came out a newer version of the tag was incuded in the custom tags folder (either that or MACR wrote their own with the same name and functionality) and by CFMX it was included in the code base.
