Kint PHP Debugger

Screenshots

This WordPress plugin is a wrapper for the Kint PHP Debugger utility. Now instead of using var_dump() or print_r(), you simply use d() with zero, nadda, no formatting required. Use this tool when you are debugging your website, in place of var_dump(), print_r() and debug_backtrace(). Handy Tools Some handy tools just for the PHP Developer: d( $var ); to render a collapsible UI container which displays your variable data in “the most informative way” ddd( $var ); same as d() except that it also executes die() to halt execution. See the screenshot 1 for more details. Here are some variations of d() to give you the display you want: ‘~d( $var );’ outputs in plain text format. ‘+d( $var );’ disregards depth level limits and outputs everything ‘!d( $var );’ shows expanded rich output ‘-d( $var );’ attempts to ob_clean() the previous output (dump something inside of HTML) Profiler Kint even includes a naïve profiler, which can help you analyze which blocks of code take longer than others: Kint::dump( microtime() ); // just pass microtime() sleep( 1 ); Kint::dump( microtime(), ‘after sleep(1)’ ); sleep( 2 ); ddd( microtime(), ‘final call, after sleep(2)’ ); See screenshot 2 for what is rendered out in your browser.
