What am I looking at?
---------------------

[](#what-am-i-looking-at)

At first glance Kint is just a pretty replacement for **[var\_dump()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.var-dump.php)**, **[print\_r()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php)** and **[debug\_backtrace()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.debug-backtrace.php)**.

Installation and Usage
----------------------

[](#installation-and-usage)

**Composer:**

```
"require": {
   "voku/kint": "^2.0"
}
```

Or just run `composer require voku/kint`

**That's it, you can now use Kint to debug your code:**

```
use kint\Kint;

Kint::enabled(true);

########## DUMP VARIABLE ###########################
Kint::dump($GLOBALS, $_SERVER); // pass any number of parameters

// or simply use d() as a shorthand:
\kint\d($_SERVER);

########## DEBUG BACKTRACE #########################
Kint::trace();
// or via shorthand:
\kint\d(1);

############# BASIC OUTPUT #########################
# this will show a basic javascript-free display
\kint\s($GLOBALS);

########## MISCELLANEOUS ###########################
# this will disable kint completely
Kint::enabled(false);

\kint\dd('Get off my lawn!'); // no effect

Kint::enabled(true);
\kint\dd( 'this line will stop the execution flow because Kint was just re-enabled above!' );
```

WARNING / INFO
--------------

[](#warning--info)

- Kint is disabled by default, call `kint\Kint::enabled(true);` to turn its funcionality on. The *best practice* is to enable Kint in DEVELOPMENT environment only (or for example `Kint::enabled($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] === '');`) - so even if you accidentally leave a dump in production, no one will know.
