How do you debug PHP scripts? [closed]

Answer 1

Well, to some degree it depends on where things are going south. That's the first thing I try to isolate, and then I'll use echo/print_r() as necessary.

NB: You guys know that you can pass true as a second argument to print_r() and it'll return the output instead of printing it? E.g.:

echo "
".print_r($var, true)."
";
