Breakpoint PHP

A more useful var_dump!

Inspect breakpoints and handle errors with a visual data explorer

Heavily influenced by and borrowing from https://github.com/charliesome/better_errors/ and https://github.com/magnars/prone

Syntaxt highlighting using http://prismjs.com/

Usage

Clone this repo into your project and include somewhere near the start of execution (e.g. top of index.php):

require_once("breakpoint/src/breakpoint/breakpoint.php");

(Composer package coming soon)

Errors will now automatically be handled by Breakpoint. Error levels reported are determined by the application's error_reporting level.

To get a snapshot of execution and inspect a specific variable insert the following where required:

// Explore $VAR
Breakpoint::Inspect($VAR);

// Explore locally declared variables
Breakpoint::Inspect(get_defined_vars());

NOTE: Breakpoint is a development tool it should not be used in production!
