Using the auto_prepend should be avoided. IMO it would be better to trigger its use directly in the code source by using a simple require. > It is extremely handy for debugging objects as it gives a much more > intuitive view of the object. > > It uses dhtml to hide branches of arrays and sub objects (when viewing an > object) I wonder if it wouldn't be better to have its display in a new window a bit like the Smarty debugger. This way it would be proper html and compatible with Netscape on Linux. Plus, it wouldn't distract attention from the main result window. > This could become a standard developer's tool if added to pear, however as > of right now it is a mess of code.

Anyway, this is still an interesting tool. Thanks, Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
