jdbg

jdbg is a nifty debugging tool that allows you to print in various formats and also enables you to set condition for the printing. It also has an option of dumping values to a predefined log file.

You are able to print with the following formats:

• krumo (http://krumo.sourceforge.net, which is included in the jdbg package and the default function dump is applied)
• pre-formatted (<pre>)
• within a textarea (<textarea>)
• using var_dump (good enough if you have xdebug in place)
• dump to log file where sequen

In the plugin configuration you would be able to configure:

• krumo skin (5 predefined choices are available)
• if the print of jdbg should be done regardless of the global Joomla debug mode is on or not
• the default printing format for jdbg according to the options above
• if the print should be on site, admin or both
• if printing option is to file the location and name of the file, and whether the log file should be reset at each page load and if timestamp should be appended to log file prior to dumping value (including delta time measured from the first time jdbg was called in milliseconds)

Conditions for print are set according to the following:

• if given parameter value equivalence with given test value
• if given parameter value match with a given regular expression
• if given parameter is empty or not empty (2 constants defined by jdbg, thus thus jdbg::ISEMPTY or jdbg::ISNOTEMPTY)

You can override the plugin configurations by making the call to jdbg::pf instead with the following function-signature:

jdbg::pf($val, $mode = 'pre', $var_val = null, $var_cond = null, $exit_mode = jdbg::EXIT_DONT)
