Debugging PHP
|
Debuggers generally use a W:Stack trace. This can be approximated by using print and die statements in sections of code. The combination of print_r and func_get_args allows you to return an array of args that a function was called with;
Casting an object of an array builds an array of the properties, mapping property names to values. e.g.
outputs;
- Array
- (
- [name] => Fred
- [age] => 35
- )
Introspection
|
<php>
- Example:
$classes = get_declared_classes(); foreach($classes as $list) {
print ("$list
");
} </php>
<php> function printArray(&$array) {
if (isset($wgCommandLineMode)) {
$rc = "\n";
} else {
$rc ="
";
}
foreach($array as $key => $value) {
print "array: key => $value$rc";
}
return();
}
</php>
From Sven/Notes, Extension:Fasta.php; <php>
- Logging to an article from within the MW environment
function logAdd($article,$msg) { $ts = $GLOBALS['wgLang']->timeanddate(wfTimestampNow(),true); $la = new Article(Title::newFromText($article)); $la->quickEdit($la->getContent()."\n*$ts: $msg"); }
- Logging to a file
function logFile($file, $msg) { $fh = fopen($file,'a'); $ts = $GLOBALS['wgLang']->timeanddate(wfTimestampNow(),true); if(is_array($msg)) $msg = print_r($msg, true); fwrite($fh, "\n$ts: $msg"); # $ts = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); # @file_put_contents($wgPayPalLog,"$ts $text\n",FILE_APPEND); } </php>
PHP errors
To see PHP errors, add this to the very top of LocalSettings.php: <php> error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set("display_errors", 1); </php>
MediaWiki profiler
The article how to debug MediaWiki provides information on setting up the profiler by adding the globals to your LocalSettings.php file;
<php> /**
* The debug log file should be not be publicly accessible if it is used, as it * may contain private data. But it must be in a directory to which PHP run * within your Web server can write. */
$wgDebugLogFile = '/tmp/MW_log.txt';
- Profiling / debugging
/** Enable for more detailed by-function times in debug log */ $wgProfiling = true; /** Only record profiling info for pages that took longer than this */ $wgProfileLimit = 0.0; /** Don't put non-profiling info into log file */ $wgProfileOnly = false; /** Log sums from profiling into "profiling" table in db. */ $wgProfileToDatabase = false; /** Only profile every n requests when profiling is turned on */ $wgProfileSampleRate = 1; /** If true, print a raw call tree instead of per-function report */ $wgProfileCallTree = false; /** If not empty, specifies profiler type to load */ $wgProfilerType = ;
/** Settings for UDP profiler */ $wgUDPProfilerHost = '127.0.0.1'; $wgUDPProfilerPort = '3811';
/** Detects non-matching wfProfileIn/wfProfileOut calls */ $wgDebugProfiling = true; /** Output debug message on every wfProfileIn/wfProfileOut */ $wgDebugFunctionEntry = 1; /** Lots of debugging output from SquidUpdate.php */ $wgDebugSquid = false; </php>
However if you include in an extension; <php> include("$IP/includes/GlobalFunctions.php"); wfDebug("This is just testing the debug tracing stuff\n"); </php> there seems to be no output in the generated log file.
