Sometimes json_encode() can be handy:

$variable = json_export($data);

Or

$variable = json_encode($data, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

U can also use the output-control functions 

ob_start();
var_dump($object);
$description = ob_get_clean();

Maybe you use:

$variable = print_r($object, true);
