PHP Debug Functions

This repository contains a set of PHP functions that provide quick and convenient ways to output debug information to the browser. These functions are particularly useful during the development phase for inspecting variable values and program state.

Features

dd(): Dump variable information and exit the script.
dc(): Log variable information to the browser's console.
pr(): Output human-readable variable information to the browser.

Ensure you have PHP installed on your system to use these functions. These debug functions are compatible with PHP 7.x and above.

Installation

Usage

Dump and Die
