[RESOLVED] logging out variables/arrays for testing

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hello, I was wondering what are some of the best practices, or most common ways of logging out/debugging arrays and variables when testing.

For example, I would like to see what a particular variable is set to or what is in an array at a particular time. Preferably in a way where I can have it show up in my php_errors.log or something also.

Thanks!

@NogDogJun 03.2011 — Something simple:
[code=php]
error_log('$var = ' . $var);
error_log('$myArray = ' . print_r($myArray, true));
[/code]
You can also get lots of info at times with debug_backtrace() (or print_debug_backtrace()).
