debugitto

This is a very simple way to debug PHP applications without generating output directly to the browser.

Installation

Via composer:

composer require andreimosman/debugitto

Download

You can download at https://github.com/andreimosman/debugitto and just include src/Debug.php

Usage

On your environment

Once you included or required the main file via vendor/autoload.php or direct on your application, you can use it by:

// ...

use AndreiMosman\Debugitto\Debugitto;

Debugitto::enable('localhost', 9900);
Debugitto::d('This is my beautiful output');

// ...

Of course, you should listen on localhost port 9900 to make it work.

You can do it on your machine using netcat:

nc -kl 9900

Inside a docker container

By default, the host is set to host.docker.internal (which refers, from the perspective of the container, to your docker server, outside the container) and the port to 9900.

So, once you included manually or via composer autoload, you can add to your code:

use AndreiMosman\Debugitto\Debugitto;

Debugitto::enable();
Debugitto::d('Message sent from the container');

print_r by default

The code below:

<?php

require_once('vendor/autoload.php'); // Check your path, please.

use AndreiMosman\Debugitto\Debugitto as D;

D::enable('127.0.0.1', 9900);

$myVariable = ['a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3];

D::d('My super dupper variable');
D::d($myVariable);

Will output:

My super duper variable
Array
(
    [a] => 1
    [b] => 2
    [c] => 3
)
