PHP and WordPress: Debugging

问题

I am writing some plugins and themes for WordPress, and I finding it hard to debug because somehow by the time the page has loaded, $_GET, $_POST and $_REQUEST are all empty. Even with error reporting set on, I am not getting error messages either other than a blank page whenever there is a fatal error. Is there anyway to enable a 'debug mode' for WordPress?

Thanks!

Pear Debug Wordpress plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-pear-debug/

Update 4/08/2015: The above plugin hasn't been updated in a few years. You can also use the built-in WordPress PHP debugging functions in wp-config.php , i.e.:

  // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define('WP_DEBUG', true);

// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);

// Disable display of errors and warnings 
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
@ini_set('display_errors',0);

// Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true);

See https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress for the complete docs

There's (more than one/) a way to enable "a 'debug mode'" for php in general. And that's installing a debugger extension like e.g. xdebug.
You need a client that connects to the debugger and retrieves+displays the information.
Netbeans 6.7 has been released and its php module supports xdebug. It has become a nice IDE for PHP development.

I know this has long been answered, but if you define('WP_DEBUG',true); in your wp-config.php and are still not seeing errors, then add this code right after the define statement:

if (WP_DEBUG) ini_set('display_errors',1);

Look at WordPress FirePHP Debugger (spam link removed). It uses FirePHP for debugging wordpress via the web browser.

Main features:

Automatic detection of FirePHP server library inside php include path or separated directory
Early loading of the debugger (before WordPress engine starts)
No modifications to WordPress core or configuration files
Automatic enabling of WordPress debug mode
Handles all php fatal errors (no more blank pages and logs parsing)
Logs WordPress deprecated functions and arguments
Safe debugging on live site
SQL queries log
PHP superglobals and constants
System information (WordPress and server environment)
