This class is made by unreal4u (Camilo Sperberg). [http://unreal4u.com/](unreal4u.com).

About this class
----------------

[](#about-this-class)

- When debugging, you need sometimes to check what's in a certain variable. This class does print that information
- It will have in special consideration the type of the variable you're printing: as such it will clearly indicate whether you're printing a boolean, empty string or even null
- Printing to screen is not practical? Print it to a file instead
- Tired of triggering errors? Convert them easily to exceptions with just one function call. From now on, every error will be converted to an exception instead
- Want to know how many time or memory a functionality in your script takes? Measure several of these benchmarks easily with this class!
- Format a unix timestamp? You can also do that easily with this class!

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
include('debugInfo.class.php');
debug($variable);
```

- Congratulations! You have just printed something to your screen!
- **Please see documentation folder for more options and advanced usage**
