Rails has support for ruby-debug built-in. `gem install ruby-debug` to install it. You would then add 'debugger' or 'breakpoint' into the code in question. When execution hits that point your (development) server drops into an IRB session where you would find your entire Rails environment at your fingertips. You can interrogate the get/post data or perform a database query. Whatever you can do in code you can do in irb in real-time, zero limitations. Ruby's IRB itself is a lot of fun even when not debugging: > irb >> 'ruby' > 'php' => true It's like having a shell built directly into the language. -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
