使用Symfony显示PHP的错误，var_dump等

Question

I'm developing with Symfony 2. The thing is that not always I can see the errors or var_dumps that I use to debug. I can see them if I go to inspector->network and select the proper file. The thing is that it is very annoying to see it.

How could I see it directly to the browser?

I use Xdebug.

I have in my php.ini:

display_errors = On

And I tried with:

xdebug.force_display_errors = 1;
xdebug.force_error_reporting = -1;

but that doesn't work.

Any idea?

------- Editing ------

This is an example of how i have to debug.

I have to go to inspector -> network and select the proper file. Apart of being very annoying, it is not efficient. Problem to see the full result as I cant scroll down or scroll right.

----- End Editing -----

I'd like to avoid to write any init_set or others options in my code if possible.

Another question... if a var_dump have more than 120k character or it is protected property how can I display it? So far I was changing it to public to dig in.

Answer 1

You have 2 ways to resolve your issue. First - you can directly use under your class namespace ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);, (but this is a not a best practice) or try to find the same string in your php.ini file and set it to E_ALL

error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = On

And finally you need to restart your web server.

About your second question - use Symfony Var Dumper for nice data output. Note that var-dumper sometimes is not compatible with old symfony versions. Use var-dumper 3.4 for best compatibility.
