[wp-hackers] Add Friend - Ajax - Failing & Don't See Why...

[J.D. Grimes]

Debug does show/log errors inside plugin files. I guess maybe what you are asking is if there is a way to do a var_dump, but into the error log? Here is a function that I use for that:

/**
 * Dump a variable to the error log.
 *
 * You can pass as many variables as you want!
 *
 * @param mixed $var
 * @param mixed ...
 */
function var_log() {

	ob_start();
	call_user_func_array( 'var_dump', func_get_args() );
	error_log( ob_get_clean() );
}

Usage:

var_log( $var, $var_2 );
