I’m using nothing to debug. Just echo the value and consider how it work. I did it very well with jQuery also.

One of the best things is to always have WP_DEBUG set to true in the wp-config.php file.
This way you’ll even see errors that don’t affect functionality, but are still there.

thanks for replies guys.

i am already aware of basic debugging using echo, print_r and wp_debug.

this is something advanced i am asking for.

i tried SublimeXdebug plugin but had hard time configuring it ( looks like it need to be updated )

try var_dump(); :p hehe bro actually what you want ? If i understood your question properly then, i suppose you need to do unit testing for each module and sub module, it's actually TDD approach, so here you go here

Good luck !

I don’t know about sublime ide but in eclipse, netbeans you can do that easily

People move away to PHP because they want to avoid that exact debugging method. It’s tedious and a waste of time.
