dumpdump
========

[](#dumpdump)

PHP var dump to file.

Sometimes you cannot `echo'';var_dump($var);die;` to send debug info to the browser window. Especially during AJAX request or cron run. In such cases, you can send the debug info to a separate channel, plain file. Imagine now you can use console to `tail -f debug.txt`.

This is not a full-fledge debugger. If you're looking for one, you may want to check these out:

- xdebug
- firephp
- [kint](http://raveren.github.io/kint/)
- [tracy](https://tracy.nette.org/)
