PHP - writing to browser console

To write debugging information to the browser console, add a helper function as follows;

function debug_to_console($data)

{

$output = $data;

if (is_array($output))

$output = implode(',', $output);

echo "<script>console.log('Debug Objects: " . $output . "' );</script>";

}

then simply do;

debug_to_console("something");
