Sage - Insightful PHP debugging assistant ☯
===========================================

[](#sage---insightful-php-debugging-assistant-)

At first glance **Sage** is just a drop-in replacement for **[var\_dump()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.var-dump.php)**and **[debug\_backtrace()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.debug-backtrace.php)**.

However, it's much, *much* more.
