FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package to-string
ToString
Logging variables can sometimes cause huge logs, especially if you want to email those logs to yourself.
On the other hand, logging exceptions with the default __toString can will most likely give you just enough information to confuse the hell out of you!
Variable to String
This is a function that will display a variable similar to print_r, with the ability to specify the max_lines, max_depth (for arrays) and min_depth (for arrays).
This means that you will never get an email with an array 3000 lines long as you would with print_r.
Xethron\ToString::variable( $var, $max_lines, $max_depth, $min_depth )
I recommend adding a global function to one of your startup files for easier access:
Exception to String
This converts an Exception to string, much like PHP's __toString, however, it won't cut off those important pieces of information you require while debugging.
On top of that, it also uses the Variable to String to to include all the variables passed in the Stack Trace.
Two functions are available:
Xethron\ToString::exception( $e ); // This will print out the entire Exception
Xethron\ToString::trace( $e->getTrace() ); // This will only print out the stack trace
