afeefa/debug-dump-log
=====================

[](#afeefadebug-dump-log)

Dump one or more variables to the screen or into a log file.

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This is a convenience wrapper around PHP's `print_r()` function with the ability to:

- inspect multiple variables at once
- dump the output right into a log file
- provide calling context
- show less verbose output
- format output depending on the output channel (html, cli, log)

The package provides two global functions `debug_dump()` and `debug_log()` that can be called from elsewhere within a PHP project without explicit import. Yet, a log file must be configured in order to use `debug_log()`.

Example
-------
