Firebug Lite on Chrome - how to log to console with PHP

I installed the extension Firebug Lite in Chrome. In Firefox I use FirePHP to log messages in the console, but I can't get it to work in Chrome.

I also installed ChromePHP. With this I can log messages to the built-in Developer Tools for Chrome, but I wish to log to Firebug Lite !

Is this even possible to send a message to the console in Firebug Lite from PHP?

Solution

  • You can't do that in the normal Firebug either (I'm talking about Firefox). You have to use FirePHP for that purpose. So you can't do that in Firebug Lite, and I don;t think that there is any extension similar to FirePHP for Chrome (that would interact with Firebug Lite). For PHP &Ajax debugging I am using PHP Console extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nfhmhhlpfleoednkpnnnkolmclajemef?hl=en-US.

    UPDATE I found a better solution, and that is: https://github.com/andrewn/firephp-chrome. The best part about it is that it allows the Chrome console to display FirePHP messages. There are some bugs, but I'm quite satisfied with it.
