php print console
function debug_to_console($data) { $output = $data; if (is_array($output)) $output = implode(',', $output); echo "<script>console.log('Debug Objects: " . $output . "' );</script>"; }
Use it like this
debug_to_console("Test"); // Outputs like Debug Objects: Test

json_encode()to check if the variable type is unnecessary and add a buffer to solve problems with frameworks.
function debug_to_console($data, $context = 'Debug in Console') { // Buffering to solve problems frameworks, like header() in this and not a solid return. ob_start(); $output = 'console.info(\'' . $context . ':\');'; $output .= 'console.log(' . json_encode($data) . ');'; $output = sprintf('<script>%s</script>', $output); echo $output; }
$data = [ 'foo' => 'bar' ]; debug_to_console($data);`
