Utility to debug PHP
====================

[](#utility-to-debug-php)

This is a small utility to debug Magento code using logs. You can use it by adding this library:

```
composer require dk4software/php-debug-utils
```

**Feel free to fork and enhance.**

By default it will insert logs into /var/www/var/log/mylog.log

If you want to override, you can pass the log path as parameter: `\Dk4software\Debug::instance('')`

It has three methods:

- `evaluate($variable_to_examine, 'label')` - examine a variable at a point in the code
- `trace()` - Trace the execution at a point in code.
- `log($msg_string_to_output)` - Log a message.

E.g:

```
\Dk4software\Debug::instance()->evaluate($coupon, '$coupon');
\Dk4software\Debug::instance()->log('My Message');
\Dk4software\Debug::instance()->trace();
```

**Do remember to remove the code and use namespace before checking in the code.**
