How-To

Tracer Helper Spark

This is a very simple yet useful helper for tracing out data while you are working. Will trace out strings and arrays recursively.

Features Overview

You choose to exit PHP after the trace or not
Trace all queries called and benchmark of each one
Can trace entire set of vars passed to the view via Loader class
Can trace out all benchmarks set
File name and line number included as a backtrace from where the trace was called
Easily setup environment switching to keep traces off your staging and production boxes
Easily style the traces with the externalized styles and view template in the views folder

Table Torch

Example Usage: ( x.x indicates the version you have installed on your build )

// from a controller 

function index(){
    $this->load->spark( 'tracer/x.x' );
    // keep on rendering page if false ( default )
    trace( $_SERVER, FALSE );
    // exit php and rendering if true
    trace( $_SERVER, TRUE );
}

To Trace Out All View Vars

You can also trace out everything that was passed to your view. This must be called after you load view and pass data via $this->load->view( 'viewname', $data ); See http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/loader.html for more information on views and data.

trace_viewdata( TRUE ); // will exit if true, no if false

Thats it!!
