Yes I use var_dump and strategic print statements if useful, don't know what Vi is and have never used tail -f /path/to/log.file. I use Firebug for javascript debug which is invaluable and http request tracking especially with AJAX calls and the error output on the console a lot. The dom and inspect tools get a lot of use too depending what I am working on. I probably tend to use the PHP code stepthrough when I am debugging tricky code that I don't just want to see values for but branching and object creation.

I am interested to hear what others use too plus to pros and cons. Am I the only one that uses this toolkit? Vi, tail -f /path/to/log.file, var_dump(), firebug. -- Regards Gold Evolved Development +64 21 248-4653 http://evolved.net.nz/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3426 (20080908) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
