DEBUG VAR FUNCTION FOR PHP
--------------------------

[](#debug-var-function-for-php)

How many time did you write:

```
echo '';
print_r($array);
echo '';
```

I am quite sure you know what I mean. So I created the debugVar function.

### Installation

[](#installation)

You can install it using composer from command line:

composer require provolik/debugvar

### How to use

[](#how-to-use)

If you want know the content of your var, simply put it in the function, like this:

debugvar($variables);

You can pass to it how many vars you want:

debugvar($var1, $var2, $var3, $var4);

Often you need to show the var and then call a die:

debugvar\_die($variables);

In other circumstances, for example in production environment, you need to print a var in hide mode:

debugvar\_hide($variables);

And that's all.
