Question

Is there a (simple) way to echo some variables from a Codeigniter controller to the browser console?

Something like

public function my_controller_method() {
   if (testing_out_something) {
      $result = "looks like it works";
      $this->log_to_javascript_console->write($result);
   }
}

I saw this javascript class but it looks like it’s more for jQuery, I just want to do something simple for debugging purposes.

I guess another way would be to send it to a view, but I don’t want my view to change at the moment, I just want to make sure my data is being sent.
