Kohana 3 :: Debugging

Kohana includes several powerful tools to help you debug your application.

The most basic of these is Kohana::debug. This simple method will display any number of variables, similar to var_exportor print_r, but using HTML for extra formatting.

// Display a dump of the $foo and $bar variables

echo Kohana::debug($foo, $bar);

Kohana also provides a method to show the source code of a particular file using Kohana::debug_source.

// Display this line of source code

echo Kohana::debug_source(__FILE__, __LINE__);

If you want to display information about your application files without exposing the installation directory, you can useKohana::debug_path:

// Displays "APPPATH/cache" rather than the real path

echo Kohana::debug_path(APPPATH.'cache');
