## Description

This plugin incorporates the pear php_debug library into wordpress.

I started creating a new website around wordpress and noticed that there was no 
way to quickly access debug information so I integrated this class
 into wordpress
for quick easy debugging when developing or experiencing problems on your wordpress
website.

Please feel free to ping me on twitter if you have a question.

 * Features

This plugin unlike most operates from within a class.
 There are several options
which can be set in the admin section

 1.  Debug Status: Overall
      this option allows you to enable and disable debugging 
     entirely
 2.  Display Debugging for: Guests
      This option allows you to enable debugging when
     no user is logged in
 3.  The rest are a list of roles found in the sytem, eg. editor, contributor, administrator
     
     For each you have the following options: Admin & Front End, Admin Only, Front 
     End Only, Disable
 4.  The plugin shows queries that were run by wordpress
      Please note that some queries
     run before the plugin is initialized. to ensure most if not all queries get recorded
     see step 4 in installation section. v1.4.1 shows not only the query but the time
     taken by the query and the function which called the query.
 5.  You can easly add debug information to the debugger by making use of several functions
 6.      ```
         <?php 
             //For advanced use. 
             //Direct access to instance of debugger
             $oDebug = wp_pear_debug::get();     
             $oDebug->add($variable); //add variable to debug
             $oDebug->dump($object,$varname); //var_dump an array or object. $varname optional
             $oDebug->queryRel($info); //add query related info
             $oDebug->error($info); //add user error
             //more options available in the pear::php_debug documentation
     
             //With v1.2 you have access to several wrapper functions
             //Enough for most people
                     wp_pear_debug::add();
                     wp_pear_debug::dump();
                     wp_pear_debug::error();
             //if you run this query with wpdb
             //It will probably appear anyways.
                     wp_pear_debug::query();
     
     
          ?>
         ```
     
 7.  Debug information appears in a neat panel controlled by javascript. The options
     expand and collapse. The debug panel also has
      a close button to completely remove
     the debug panel.
 8.  Note that the debug bar floats at the top right and will not disrupt your layout.
 9.  To ensure layout stability the plugin is hard coded to use only the HTML Div Renderer
 10. displaying server and response varables.
 11.  * Request
      * Response
      * Setings
      * Globals
      * Php
      * Files
      * Database queries
      * Execution time
      * Errors and messages
      * Link to w3c validator
 12. With v1.2 you can add debug information via shortcode from within your post. `[
     wp_pear_debug]foo bar[/wp_pear_debug]` or you may use:
      [wp_pear-debug foo=”bar”
     foo1=”bar2″]
 13. Internationalization support has been added with version 1.4.6. A rough spanish
     translation has been provided in the hope that someone can take it and create 
     a better translation.

## FAQ

  Who is this for

I imagine this plugin will be most valuable to wordpress developers
 It will also
be good for people who are seeing errors on their site. This plugin also measures
script execution time so It is also good for people who want to measure the performance
of their entire site or a specific part of their script.

  Can I see the library in action?
