# PHP Debug Bar (wrapper) A wrapper for maximebf/debugbar to be simpler and configurable (e.g. disabled in production) on instantiation. ## Installation via Composer: "martynbiz/phpdebugbar": "dev-master" Alternatively, clone and copy into your project: clone https://github.com/martynbiz/phpdebugbar.git ## Usage Firstly, a symlink needs to be made from your project's public directory to the assets directory of maximebf/debugbar/.../Resources. This gives the project access to the neccessary CSS and Js files for the debug bar. ln -s ../vendor/maximebf/debugbar/src/DebugBar/Resources phpdebugbar Note: This path may vary depending on your folder structure. Below shows how I've set debug bar up within Zend Framework 1: $view->debugbar # new MartynBiz\PHPDebugBar(array( 'enabled' #> $config->ddebugbar->enabled, // can be set to 0 in production env 'base_url' #> 'phpdebugbar', // our symlink name to assets (js, css) )); // set pdo collector to output sql queries $view->debugbar->addDatabaseCollector($pdo); // pdo instance // set config to see what config settings have been applied $view->debugbar->addConfigCollector( $config->toArray() ); // config array Then within my HTML view scripts: . . . debugbar->renderHead(); ?> . . . debugbar->render(); ?> Then within my controller and/or view: Add a message to the debugger: $view->debugbar->addMessage('Hello world!'); To measure execution time: $view->debugbar->startMeasure('myblock'); . . . $view->debugbar->stopMeasure('myblock', 'My block description'); ## Troubleshooting If the debug bar doesn't load, check the html source and ensure that the paths are correct for css and js.
