I find it very useful to print out to the browsers console instead of just var_dumping:
function console_log( $data ){
echo '<script>';
echo 'console.log('. json_encode( $data ) .')';
echo '</script>';
}
Usage:
$myvar = array(1,2,3);
console_log( $myvar ); // [1,2,3]

A good example of data output to the console via <script> tags, I myself used this first, but he broke the captcha job, because <script> tags were inserted into the base64 code of the captcha picture. Then I began to display logs in the headers with such a function (it may help someone else, in a similar situation):
<?php
function header_log($data){
$bt = debug_backtrace();
$caller = array_shift($bt);
$line = $caller['line'];
$file = array_pop(explode('/', $caller['file']));
header('log_'.$file.'_'.$caller['line'].': '.json_encode($data));
}
?>
Usage:
$myvar = array(1,2,3);
header_log( $myvar ); // in headers we see: log_filename_rownumber: [1,2,3]

I would like to add http://phpdebugbar.com/ which is also a handy tool for debugging/profiling data. and you could use it whenever framework you are using. :-)

For me, just outputting variables only works when I know a method should be broken.
I use Xdebug in PHP Storm (available on other IDE's and editors as well)
It allows me to use line breaks and fully inspect anything that's set and how their values are changed and allows me to call single method even at (paused) runtime to see what behaviour the method really gives at any given point, which gives me a much better insight on how my code works and how to get it to work like it should.
I wholeheartedly recomend anyone to try a fuller-fledged debugger like that!

I am using two ways to debug code
one is print the data and die the function in specific point.
print_r($data);die;
second one is writing log file in specific point in code.
function write_log($log_msg)
{
$log_filename = "logs";
if (!file_exists($log_filename))
{
mkdir($log_filename, 0777, true);
}
$log_file_data = $log_filename.'/debug.log';
file_put_contents($log_file_data, $log_msg . "\n", FILE_APPEND);
}
write_log("Writing Log");
$a = array(
array('id' => '1','date' => '09-04-2018','length' => '10'),
array('id' => '2','date' => '09-04-2018','length' => '20'),
array('id' => '1','date' => '10-04-2018','length' => '11')
);
write_log(print_r($a,1));

I still find that printing out variable values at problem points in the code is one of the easiest ways for me to debug. If you're interested in knowing the full contents of an object/array/scalar, then use
var_dump($var).

None of the given examples here do fit my needs.
When I debug, I want to see clearly what's going on and where is the debug data. Also it has to accommodate with the current styles and not fall behind or get mixed with other text etc.
This snippet will give you real debug notices in a flashy table:
- complete backtrace of calls on the left with line numbers
- arguments content on the right, with the variable name and coloring per variable type
<?php
function wtf(){
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$args = func_get_args();
$backtrace = debug_backtrace();
$file = file($backtrace[0]['file']);
$src = $file[$backtrace[0]['line']-1]; // select debug($varname) line where it has been called
$pat = '#(.*)'.__FUNCTION__.' *?\( *?\$(.*) *?\)(.*)#i'; // search pattern for wtf(parameter)
$arguments = trim(preg_replace($pat, '$2', $src)); // extract arguments pattern
$args_arr = array_map('trim', explode(',', $arguments));
print '<style>
div.debug {visible; clear: both; display: table; width: 100%; font-family: Courier,monospace; border: medium solid red; background-color: yellow; border-spacing: 5px; z-index: 999;}
div.debug > div {display: unset; margin: 5px; border-spacing: 5px; padding: 5px;}
div.debug .cell {display: inline-flex; padding: 5px; white-space: pre-wrap;}
div.debug .left-cell {float: left; background-color: Violet;}
div.debug .array {color: RebeccaPurple; background-color: Violet;}
div.debug .object pre {color: DodgerBlue; background-color: PowderBlue;}
div.debug .variable pre {color: RebeccaPurple; background-color: LightGoldenRodYellow;}
div.debug pre {white-space: pre-wrap;}
</style>'.PHP_EOL;
print '<div class="debug">'.PHP_EOL;
foreach ($args as $key => $arg) {
print '<div><div class="left-cell cell"><b>';
array_walk(debug_backtrace(),create_function('$a,$b','print "{$a[\'function\']}()(".basename($a[\'file\']).":{$a[\'line\']})<br> ";'));
print '</b></div>'.PHP_EOL;
if (is_array($arg)) {
print '<div class="cell array"><b>'.$args_arr[$key].' = </b>';
print_r(htmlspecialchars(print_r($arg)), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
print '</div>'.PHP_EOL;
} elseif (is_object($arg)) {
print '<div class="cell object"><pre><b>'.$args_arr[$key].' = </b>';
print_r(htmlspecialchars(print_r(var_dump($arg))), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
print '</pre></div>'.PHP_EOL;
} else {
print '<div class="cell variable"><pre><b>'.$args_arr[$key].' = </b>>';
print_r(htmlspecialchars($arg, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8').'<');
print '</pre></div>'.PHP_EOL;
}
print '</div>'.PHP_EOL;
}
print '</div>'.PHP_EOL;
}
?>
Usage: wtf($arg1, $arg2,..);
That's it!

I also use a method to print complete data from www.skydevelopers.net company:
function dd($data) {
echo '<pre>';
print_r($data);
exit;
}
well this is also very beneficial

I often rely on a Slack channel open that is solely dedicated to debug output in whatever project I'm working on. Then I use a PHP function called debug($obj) that takes $obj and uses the Slack API to post a message with that value to that channel. It's helped me immensely and hopefully it would help others too.

p_r() is a function for logging variable values.
In this example the function p_r() does only log when the URL parameter d=<nonzero> is set. Reset it by d=0.
When the parameter is a valid filename (relative to the script's path) it will be logged to that file rather than to the browser.
[code]
@session_start();
// debug
if (isset($_GET['d']))
{
$_SESSION['d'] = $_GET['d'];
}
if (@$_SESSION['d']) {
function p_r($exp)
{
$res = "";
$trace = debug_backtrace();
$level = 0;
$e = error_reporting(E_ALL&~E_NOTICE);
$file = strrpos($trace[$level]['file'], "/");
$file = substr($trace[$level]['file'],$file+1);
$line = date("H:i:s"). " " . $file . ' ' . $trace[$level]['line'] . ' ' . $trace[$level+1]['function'] . "()";
$e = error_reporting($e);
if (!is_string($exp)) $exp = var_export($exp,1);
if (substr($_SESSION["d"],-4)==".log") {
file_put_contents ($_SESSION["d"],$line . ": ". $exp . "\n", FILE_APPEND);
} else {
$res = $line . "\n<pre>".htmlentities($exp). "</pre>\n";
echo $res;
}
return $res;
}
// refresh to prevent timeout
$a = $_SESSION['d'];
$_SESSION['d'] = $a;
error_reporting (E_ALL);
} else {
function p_r() {}
} // end if debug
[/code]

Following example above using variable-lenght arguments to support similar Web API's console.log implementation
<?php
function console_log( ...$messages ){
$msgs = '';
foreach ($messages as $msg) {
$msgs .= json_encode($msg);
}
echo '<script>';
echo 'console.log('. json_encode($msgs) .')';
echo '</script>';
}
?>
