[TYPO3] debugging php of an extension

[Fr. Simon Rundell SCP]

Examples:


$aryReturn=$this->MyFunctionReturnsAnArray();
$value="Whatever";

print t3lib_div::print_arry($aryReturn); // messy,basic and might just stick
the output anywhere on screen
print "<br>Value is ".$value;

$content='<h1>This is what comes out from the extension</h1>
<div class="debug">You want the
array?'.t3lib_div::print_arry($aryReturn).'<br>Another
value:'.$value.'</div>
'; // a bit more controlled, adds debug values onto its own layer

// last thing in the main function
		return $this->pi_wrapInBaseClass($content);

} // end of main


and in your css you have defined something like (I always attach a
stylesheet to my extensions, but you could define the style in the page
output itself):

.debug {
	position:absolute; 
	left:131px; 
	top:40px; 
	width:298px; 
	height:62px; 
	z-index:1
}

Does this very basic set of examples help?
