print_r() +1。使用它来转储对象或变量的内容。为了使它更具可读性，使用pre标记，这样你就不需要查看源代码了。

echo '<pre>';
print_r($arrayOrObject);

还有var_dump($thing) -这对于查看子事物的类型非常有用

集成的调试器，可以在逐步执行代码时观察变量值的变化，这真的很酷。但是，它们确实需要在服务器上安装软件，并在客户机上进行一定数量的配置。两者都需要定期维护以保持良好的工作状态。

print_r易于编写，并保证在任何设置中都能工作。

这是我的调试环境:

error_reporting(-1);
assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE, 1);
assert_options(ASSERT_WARNING, 0);
assert_options(ASSERT_BAIL, 0);
assert_options(ASSERT_QUIET_EVAL, 0);
assert_options(ASSERT_CALLBACK, 'assert_callcack');
set_error_handler('error_handler');
set_exception_handler('exception_handler');
register_shutdown_function('shutdown_handler');

function assert_callcack($file, $line, $message) {
    throw new Customizable_Exception($message, null, $file, $line);
}

function error_handler($errno, $error, $file, $line, $vars) {
    if ($errno === 0 || ($errno & error_reporting()) === 0) {
        return;
    }

    throw new Customizable_Exception($error, $errno, $file, $line);
}

function exception_handler(Exception $e) {
    // Do what ever!
    echo '<pre>', print_r($e, true), '</pre>';
    exit;
}

function shutdown_handler() {
    try {
        if (null !== $error = error_get_last()) {
            throw new Customizable_Exception($error['message'], $error['type'], $error['file'], $error['line']);
        }
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        exception_handler($e);
    }
}

class Customizable_Exception extends Exception {
    public function __construct($message = null, $code = null, $file = null, $line = null) {
        if ($code === null) {
            parent::__construct($message);
        } else {
            parent::__construct($message, $code);
        }
        if ($file !== null) {
            $this->file = $file;
        }
        if ($line !== null) {
            $this->line = $line;
        }
    }
}

For the really gritty problems that would be too time consuming to use print_r/echo to figure out I use my IDE's (PhpEd) debugging feature. Unlike other IDEs I've used, PhpEd requires pretty much no setup. the only reason I don't use it for any problems I encounter is that it's painfully slow. I'm not sure that slowness is specific to PhpEd or any php debugger. PhpEd is not free but I believe it uses one of the open-source debuggers (like XDebug previously mentioned) anyway. The benefit with PhpEd, again, is that it requires no setup which I have found really pretty tedious in the past.

在某种程度上，这取决于事情的走向。这是我尝试分离的第一件事，然后在必要时使用echo/print_r()。

注:你们知道你可以把true作为第二个参数传递给print_r()，它会返回输出而不是打印它吗?例如:

echo "<pre>".print_r($var, true)."</pre>";

PhpEdit有一个内置调试器，但我通常最终使用echo();和print_r ();老式的方式!!
