Hello,

Do we have in PhpEd an object in which we can print outputs, calling a simple function :

debug_print ("my text to print inside debug object");

It looks like echo, but instead of printing text in current stream, it prints it in a debugging window.

This tools is very useful for me.

You can use OutputDebugString to write messages to the Log panel:



If you right-click the Log panel, you can Filter messages to include for example just ODS, so you only see OutputDebugString messages. You can then also tick the Log panel to Auto Activate which means PhpED will automatically display the panel every time you get a debug string.

Bear in mind OutputDebugString() is not a standard PHP statement, so if you accidentally release a site to production and it contains that statement, it will probably fail to run. For that reason some developers are of the belief that you should not use special debug statements (DebugBreak, OutputDebugString, etc.) whilst testing.

You could define your own OutputDebugString() stub function to allow running in a non-debug environment without having to change your code:

Thanks. It helps me a lot.
