Using XDebug and console

Post by lockerrushing »

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to output var_dump() or print to a console like a gdbp client? It just seems wrong to mix in debug info with the web app on screen.

Trying to understand the app I'm working with. Just want to be able to drop in dumps throughout the app and see what's going on through a separate console.

Any guidelines on the best practices for debugging. I have been trying to setup xdebug with eclipse, and I have to say the process for a noob sucks! Why does it have to be so freakin complex?!?

Also, any recommendations on the best ide? Is Zend studio better then PDT? Is Zend Debugger better then XDebug?

Thanks for any help!
