Drupal: Can't print inside hook_node_insert

Question

On my Drupal 7 Site I am trying to create my very first own module. I've got a custom node_insert hook like the one below:

function sample_node_insert($node){
  dpm($node);
  var_dump($node);
}

I just want to see what is inside of $node, but I just can't get it! I tried creating a new node and watching out for some output, but I couldn't manage to find any. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

you can do exit(); after printing, to make sure no other implementation of this hook get ran.
