I am using xdebug with my php methods such as var_dump() are beautiful but not showing full information instead the dump ends with three dots ...
which might be the sign of continuation followed by
(length=87749)
How should I tell xdebug to show full dump ??
Thanks
Xdebug truncates the output of (at least) strings and arrays, to avoid it getting to big.
The amout of data that's printed can be configured using these directives :
xdebug.var_display_max_children
xdebug.var_display_max_data
- and
xdebug.var_display_max_depth
For more informations and example, see Variable Display Features
You'll have to edit your php.ini
file (or xdebug.ini
file, depending on your setup), to define those directives, with values that suit your needs.
For example, on Ubuntu, in my /etc/php5/conf.d/xdebug.ini
file, I have the following lines :
xdebug.var_display_max_children = 256
xdebug.var_display_max_data = 2048
xdebug.var_display_max_depth = 8
Just edit in your php.ini file
xdebug.var_display_max_depth = 10 #example
@Smittles - xdebug vars can be set at runtime via ini_set:
ini_set('xdebug.var_display_max_depth', 5);
ini_set('xdebug.var_display_max_children', 256);
ini_set('xdebug.var_display_max_data', 1024);
