Sending “var_dump” to FireBug console

Question

As you know var_dump() in addition to value show its data type and length.

Is there any way to log its output to

Answer 1

if you just want to see the var_dump out put in the firebug (client side) without doing any things in Javascript I would recommande using cookies following is an illustration how you can perform it that way:

";
echo $str."\n";

function sendVarDumpToFront( $mixed ){
    ob_start();
    var_dump($mixed);
    $content = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    setcookie("var_dump",$content);
}

than you can have it in firebug this way:

IMPORTANT

since this way uses cookies you will have to put the var_dump content before outputing any content otherwise this will not work
