PHP Debug Bar (wrapper)
=======================

[](#php-debug-bar-wrapper)

A wrapper for maximebf/debugbar to be simpler and configurable (e.g. disabled in production) on instantiation.

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

[](#installation)

via Composer:

```
"martynbiz/phpdebugbar": "dev-master"

```

Alternatively, clone and copy into your project:

```
clone https://github.com/martynbiz/phpdebugbar.git

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Firstly, a symlink needs to be made from your project's public directory to the assets directory of maximebf/debugbar/.../Resources. This gives the project access to the neccessary CSS and Js files for the debug bar.

```
ln -s ../vendor/maximebf/debugbar/src/DebugBar/Resources phpdebugbar

```

Note: This path may vary depending on your folder structure.

Below shows how I've set debug bar up within Zend Framework 1:

```
$view->debugbar # new MartynBiz\PHPDebugBar(array(
    'enabled' #> $config->ddebugbar->enabled, // can be set to 0 in production env
    'base_url' #> 'phpdebugbar', // our symlink name to assets (js, css)
));

// set pdo collector to output sql queries
$view->debugbar->addDatabaseCollector($pdo); // pdo instance

// set config to see what config settings have been applied
$view->debugbar->addConfigCollector( $config->toArray() ); // config array

```

Then within my HTML view scripts:

```

    .
    .
    .

    .
    .
    .

```

Then within my controller and/or view:

Add a message to the debugger:

```
$view->debugbar->addMessage('Hello world!');

```

To measure execution time:

```
$view->debugbar->startMeasure('myblock');
.
.
.
$view->debugbar->stopMeasure('myblock', 'My block description');

```

Troubleshooting
---------------

[](#troubleshooting)

If the debug bar doesn't load, check the html source and ensure that the paths are correct for css and js.
