Here is another debugging helper for Symfony, CodeIgniter, Kohana and Zend frameworks or your applications. Normally you would use var_dump() or print _r() for debugging but dumping the data without xdebug always a pain.
I use these custom functions depending on type of data whether an array or a class to debug my code which makes it more friendly and human-readable.
<?php
function my_print_r ($param, $bool = TRUE) {
pre( print_r($param, $bool), FALSE);
}
function my_var_dump ($param) {
pre(var_dump($param));
}
function my_debug ($param) {
if (is_object($param)) {
pre('Object: ['.get_class($param). '] => '
. print_r(array_keys(get_object_vars($param)), TRUE), FALSE);
}
}
function my_debug_in ($param) {
if (is_object($param)) {
pre('Object: [' .get_class($param).' ] => Array', FALSE);
foreach (get_object_vars($param) as $key) {
my_debug($key);
}
}
if (is_array($param)) {
my_print_r($param);
}
}
function my_class($name = NULL) {
$class = new ReflectionClass($name);
my_print_r(Reflection::export($class));
}
function pre($param, $bool = TRUE) {
if (!ini_get('xdebug.default_enable') || !$bool) {
echo "<pre>".$param ."</pre>\n";
}else {
echo $param;
}
}
?>
