PHP Debugging for Web 2.0

Jim Plush, in a post over his blog gives you details about the new MyBic PHP Debugger for the Web 2.0. He talks about its function and explains that it prints to the screen, it writes to log files and it can send data from the server to firebug. It can read in an XML file directly; render objects as trees, multidimensional arrays, and the like. It has a profiler so you can write profile statements to try and spot bottlenecks that might be in your scripts. He says to install it you need the MyBic Firefox extension and firebug installed.

He says, you do not have to use the MyBic AJAX framework to use this debugger. They are separate for now. The debugger will work in PHP4 and PHP 5 and will be included in the ‘debugger’ directory of the MyBic download, he updates.

Giving further information he says, he plans on launching version 0.01 shortly. The screenshots for this debugger can be found here.
