dbug Basics

Debugging

<?php
// output a variable
dbug( $var );

    // output a variable with a title           
    dbug( $debug, 'Testing' );

    // output a variable with a title and information from the last 6 steps from debug_backtrace
    dbug( $somevalue, 'Trying to figure some shit out', 6 );
