includekrexx

Overview

kreXX is a php debug tool, which displays debug information about objects and variables in it's own draggable debug output. It started out as a fork of Krumo, but after several refactoring sessions, there is very little left of Krumo.

Usage

Like Krumo, kreXX will be called in the PHP source code.

krexx($myObject);

Most of the time you will use this method. kreXX will analyse the $object and give you detailed information about it:

• Public attributes of the object
• Protected attributes of the object (can be toggled)
• Private attributes of the object (can be toggled)
• Content of the traversable part of the object (can be toggled)
• Result of all configured debugging callbacks (can be configured)

In case the variable is not an object, it will simply display its content.

kreXX::timerStart();

Starts a benchmark

kreXX::timerMoment($string);

Defines a "moment" during a benchmark test.
The $string should be something meaningful, like "Model invoice db call".

kreXX::timerEnd();

Ends the benchmark test and displays the result.

kreXX::backtrace();

Outputs a standard backtrace. When kreXX finds objects inside the backtrace, it will analyse them.

krexx::registerFatal();

Registers the fatal error handler in the system.

krexx::unregisterFatal();

Unregisters the fatal error handler in the system.

Features

• All features from Krumo

Additional features are:

• Dumping of protected variables
• Dumping of private variables
• Dumping of traversable data
• Configurable debug callbacks, witch will be called on objects (if present). The output will then be dumped.
• Analysis of the methods of objects (comments, where declared, parameters). Comment dumping supports {@inheritdoc}.
• When a recursion is encountered, a click on it jumps to the original analysis of said object.
• Output is draggable and has a closing button.
• All features can be globally configured in a configuration file.
• All features can be locally configured in the browser. The settings will be stored in a cookie.
• Configurable local opening function, to prevent other developers to call your own debug commands
• Uses cookies to decide, who can use kreXX and who can not.
• Output can be saved to an output folder. Very useful in m2m communication.
• Several security measures to prevent an output which is too large (or no output at all).
• Benchmarking
• (Un)registerable fatal error handler with a full backtrace
