Something like laravel "dd" function - CodeIgnitedX - 12-10-2016
I miss something like "dd" function in laravel to print the object's tree and vars.

What is wrong with print_r and var_dump ?
http://php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php
http://php.net/manual/en/function.var-dump.php
If it is the formatting on screen output try viewing the page source, much cleaner.

I'm sorry, but print_r and var_dump are very simples, in large objects are very tedious debug. Please see that link http://laraveldaily.com/echoing-dd-vs-var_dump-vs-print_r/
I'm codeigniter fanatic but we should recognize the good work in another frameworks.
Regards.

That post seems to be saying that dd is a PITA.
I admit that when debugging very large arrays it is a pain to decipher the content sometimes. But I just do not understand the need for dd at all. I suppose it might be handy in some contexts. It reminds me of exploring objects in a browser console, which I always find a pain. Probably because I do not do it enough.
There is no equivalent of DD in CI. Perhaps you could write one. It does not seem to be a particularly complex function, although I bet it gets complicated when you start taking into account edge cases.
Personally, if you are analysing an array of substantial size to debug something, I would always break code down into smaller chunks which are more manageable.

I totally agree with you on this. But I am still failing to see the benefit of dd

If you need something anyway, you may try https://github.com/CesiumComputer/print_d

Or the old CI Favorite as a helper method:
PHP Code:
/**
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* dDebug Helper
*
* Outputs the given variable(s) with formatting and location
*
* @access public
* @param mixed - variables to be output
*/
if ( ! function_exists('dDebug'))
{
function dDebug()
{
list($callee) = debug_backtrace();
$args = func_get_args();
$total_args = func_num_args();
echo '<div><fieldset style="background: #fefefe !important; border:1px red solid; padding:15px">';
echo '<legend style="background:blue; color:white; padding:5px;">'.$callee['file'].' @line: '.$callee['line'].'</legend><pre><code>';
$i = 0;
foreach ($args as $arg)
{
echo '<strong>Debug #' . ++$i . ' of ' . $total_args . '</strong>: ' . '<br>';
var_dump($arg);
}
echo "</code></pre></fieldset><div><br>";
}
}

If you like the output like dd, you can use http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/var_dumper.html with Composer.

It's not been maintained since 2007, but I use this little class file

I use FirePHP. Gives me all the debugging data I need, and doesn't stop execution like dd does.
