debug variable value cakephp

cakephp, cakephp-1.3, debugging, php

Solution

There are no dumb questions for someone learning. So here are your options :

Anywhere in your code, place the following statement `debug($var);`. This works in Controllers/Views and Models as well.

Alternative: use CakeLog::write(LOG_DEBUG, "..."); to log debug values

To be complete, one should install the very helpful `DebugKit` plugin. Get it from here

Problem

How can I print out some debug output, like the contents of an array variable? I'm using cakephp and eclipse and can't seem to be able to do this. I am not talking about logging errors, just print some variable value. It might be obvious and really easy to do, but I can't find a way to do it. Thank you
