Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This library supports PHP 5.4 - 8.5

It is installable and autoloadable via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) as [bdk/debug](https://packagist.org/packages/bdk/debug).

```
{
    "require": {
        "bdk/debug": "^3.5",
    }
}
```

### installation without Composer

[](#installation-without-composer)

As of v3.3 this is no longer officially supported due to now requiring one or more dependencies.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

See

PSR-3 Usage
-----------

[](#psr-3-usage)

PHPDebugConsole includes a [PSR-3](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md) implementation (which can be used as a [monolog](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog) PSR handler). If you're using an application or library that uses these standards, drop PHPDebugConsole right in.

(this library includes neither psr/log or monolog/monolog. Include separately if needed.)

PSR-3:

```
// instantiate PHPDebugLogger / get instance
$debug = \bdk\Debug::getInstance();
$psr3logger = $debug->logger;
$psr3logger->emergency('fallen and can\'t get up');
```

monolog:

```
$monolog = new \Monolog\Logger('myApplication');
$monolog->pushHandler(new \bdk\Debug\Collector\MonologHandler($debug));
$monolog->critical('all your base are belong to them');
```
