Question

I’m looking for clean way to break my current habit of using print commands in PHP when I want to see what’s happening.

I am aware of options such as Zend Debugger but I use Coda for development and I’m not interested in mixing other software or having to do server commands. I just need a console that can be added to my codebase and then turned on/off.

Does anything like this exist? Furthermore, what do you use and why?

EDIT: There was a lot of stuff out there but I needed something even simpler so I ended up coding it myself. It didn’t take long (nor is it very pretty) but I’ve put it up on my server for anyone else interested.

You can use Xdebug in combination with any one of the many options available to view its debugging info.
