ZFDebug - a debug bar for Zend Framework
========================================

[](#zfdebug---a-debug-bar-for-zend-framework)

ZFDebug is a plugin for the Zend Framework for PHP5, providing useful debug information displayed in a small bar at the bottom of every page.

Time spent, memory usage and number of database queries are presented at a glance. Additionally, included files, a listing of available view variables and the complete SQL command of all queries are shown in separate panels:

The available plugins at this point are:

- Cache: Information on Zend\_Cache, APC and Zend OPcache (for PHP 5.5).
- Database: Full listing of SQL queries from Zend\_Db and the time for each.
- Exception: Error handling of errors and exceptions.
- File: Number and size of files included with complete list.
- Html: Number of external stylesheets and javascripts. Link to validate with W3C. for custom memory measurements.
- Log: Timing information of current request, time spent in action controller and custom timers. Also average, min and max time for requests.
- Variables: View variables, request info and contents of `$_COOKIE`, `$_POST` and `$_SESSION`

Installation & Usage
------------------------

[](#installation--usage)

To install, place the folder 'ZFDebug' in your library path, next to the Zend folder. Then add the following method to your bootstrap class (in ZF1.8+):

In Bootstrap.php

```
protected function _initZFDebug() {
    if (Zend_Registry::isRegistered('config') && $config = Zend_Registry::get('config')) {
        if ($config ['settings'] ['debug']['enabled'] == false):
            return true;
        else:
            $autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
            $autoloader->registerNamespace('ZFDebug');
        endif;
    }

    $options = array(
        'plugins' => array(
            'Variables',
            //'ZFDebug_Controller_Plugin_Debug_Plugin_Debug' => array('tab' => 'Debug', 'panel' => ''),
            'ZFDebug_Controller_Plugin_Debug_Plugin_Auth',
            'File' => array('basePath' => PATH_PROJECT),
            'Database',
            'Registry',
            'Memory',
            'Time',
            'Exception'
        ),
        'jquery_path' => '');
    // Setup the cache plugin
    if (Zend_Registry::isRegistered('cache')) {
        $cache = Zend_Registry::get('cache');
        $options ['plugins'] ['Cache'] ['backend'] = $cache->getBackend();
    }

    // Setup the databases
    $resource = $this->getPluginResource('multidb');
    if (Zend_Registry::isRegistered('config')) {
        $config = Zend_Registry::get('config');
        $databases = $config ['resources'] ['multidb'];
        foreach ($databases as $name => $adapter) {
            $db_adapter = $resource->getDb($name);
            $options ['plugins'] ['Database'] ['adapter'] [$name] = $db_adapter;
        }
    }

    // Init the ZF Debug Plugin
    $debug = new ZFDebug_Controller_Plugin_Debug($options);
    $this->bootstrap('frontController');
    $frontController = $this->getResource('frontController');
    $frontController->registerPlugin($debug);
}

```

In .ini

\[development : bootstrap\] settings.debug.enabled = 1 ; enable debug bar

Using Composer
--------------

[](#using-composer)

You may now install ZFDebug using the dependency management tool Composer.

To use ZFDebug with Composer, add the following to the require list in your project's composer.json file:

```
"require": {
    "visualweber/zfdebug": "0.1"
},

```

Run the install command to resolve and download the dependencies:

```
php composer.phar install

```

Further documentation will follow as the github move progresses.
