* Support debug bar collection from command-line It can be useful to use the PHP Debug Bar from the command line if a storage layer is configured. In that scenario, a user would run a PHP CLI application, then open a web page with the debug bar front-end and use the open handler to locate the command-line invocation. However, a problem is that the collect() function assumes that standard HTTP variables are available - this assumption does not apply when running from the CLI. Write a special branch of code for the CLI server API so that reasonable metadata can be collected for the CLI case. Without this patch, null method, URI, and IP are logged and it actually becomes impossible to open the CLI invocation in the open handler - let alone tell them apart. * Fix gethostname call in DebugBar::collect It might fail, and we need to be prepared for that.

Installation
The best way to install DebugBar is using Composer with the following command:
composer require maximebf/debugbar
Quick start
DebugBar is very easy to use and you can add it to any of your projects in no time.
The easiest way is using the render()
functions
<?php
// Require the Composer autoloader, if not already loaded
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use DebugBar\StandardDebugBar;
$debugbar = new StandardDebugBar();
$debugbarRenderer = $debugbar->getJavascriptRenderer();
$debugbar["messages"]->addMessage("hello world!");
?>
<html>
<head>
<?php echo $debugbarRenderer->renderHead() ?>
</head>
<body>
...
<?php echo $debugbarRenderer->render() ?>
</body>
</html>
The DebugBar uses DataCollectors to collect data from your PHP code. Some of them are
automated but others are manual. Use the DebugBar
like an array where keys are the
collector names. In our previous example, we add a message to the MessagesCollector
:
$debugbar["messages"]->addMessage("hello world!");
StandardDebugBar
activates the following collectors:
MemoryCollector
(memory)MessagesCollector
(messages)PhpInfoCollector
(php)RequestDataCollector
(request)TimeDataCollector
(time)ExceptionsCollector
(exceptions)
