I am writing a rather large PHP application and I've come to a point where I would like some debugging output. I've successfully installed FireBug and FirePHP and I've managed to output one line of text to the console.
Here is the problem now. I have a php file called Register.php which contains basically code only to display the view and submit the form. This file calls a function in the SiteViewModel.php class to do the actually background work in registering the user. The SiteViewModel.php also calls other php files to connect to the DB and perform checks/inserts.
If I put the debugging line in the SiteViewModel.php file constructor I get an output to the Firebug console. If I put any other lines anywhere else I get nothing logged.
Some code
Register.php:
<?php
require_once("/xampp/htdocs/SiteConfig.php");
if(isset($_POST['submitted']))
{
if($rlrpgSite->RegisterUser())
{
$rlrpgSite->RedirectToURL("registrationthanks.php");
}
}
?>
