How to print a debug log?

Question

I\'d like to debug some PHP code, but I guess printing a log to screen or file is fine for me.

How should I print a log in PHP code?

You can also write to a file like this:

$logFilePath = '../logs/debug.text';
ob_start();

// if you want to concatenate:
if (file_exists($logFilePath)) {
    include($logFilePath);
}
// for timestamp
$currentTime = date(DATE_RSS);

// echo log statement(s) here
echo "\n\n$currentTime - [log statement here]";

$logFile = fopen($logFilePath, 'w');
fwrite($logFile, ob_get_contents());
fclose($logFile);
ob_end_flush();

Make sure the proper permissions are set so php can access and write to the file (775).
