Question

I started out in cake 1.2.6 a short time ago and liked the controller dump feature because it showed me what was going on, and at which points in my app the objects were instantiated, and their contents.

In 1.3 how can I find out the names of instantiated objects, and how do I get a dump of them?

Answer 1

If you put the following code inside function index() of your usersController (for example):

echo debug($this);

You can browse to ‘/users’ to see the hierarchy.
