Advanced PHP: Debugging Techniques

PHP powers the back end of many of the world’s websites. But its extensive range of error levels makes it hard to know what’s what, especially when it comes to capturing relevant information and debugging errors in your code. In this course for experienced PHP developers, instructor Gary Kovar teaches you some advanced techniques to improve your debugging workflow, using both local and non-local tools to fix issues in your code more efficiently.

Learn how to log and correctly identify error levels to capture the right amount of information for fixing a bug. Explore debugging with local development tools like var_dump, WordPress CLI, Laravel artisan tinker, whoops, and Xdebug. By the end of this course, you’ll also be ready to debug on non-local instances by capturing errors remotely with Monolog.
