setup¶

the NON Thread safe (nts) php does not support apache and you have to install thread safe versions

install¶

php.ini-development to php.ini and change: display_errors = on log_errors = on error_log = c:\log\php_errors.log SMTP = mail.svr.com extension=curl extension=gd2 extension=mbstring extension=pdo_mysql

print_r() displays information about a variable in a way that's readable by humans.

var_dump() displays structured information about one or more expressions that includes its type and value.

//to error_log
error_log( print_r( $object, true ) );

function error_log_var_dump( $object=null ){
    ob_start();                    // start buffer capture
    var_dump( $object );           // dump the values
    $contents = ob_get_contents(); // put the buffer into a variable
    ob_end_clean();                // end capture
    error_log( $contents );        // log contents of the result of var_dump( $object )
}

error_log_var_dump( $object );
