\nWhen debugging a site that’s live, viewing the progression of your script can save quite a bit of time,
\nresulting in considerably less complaints. However, it’s absolutely essential that you avoid throwing
\nyour variables to the screen while visitors are viewing your pages. One way to avoid exposing your
\nsensitive data, while also giving yourself a live printout of your variables is by making them visible
\nto only you and\/or your team.\n<\/div>\n
\nThe technique I will show you here requires that you have a static IP, or that you are willing to monitor
\nyour dynamic IP and change values as it changes. Also, everything that is echoed to the screen will be
\nvisible to anyone on your IP. So, if you are sharing IPs with someone you don’t want viewing your data,
\nthis is not the technique you should use. This should also not be used for extremely sensitive data. If you
\nthink that it’s worth someone’s time spoofing your address, then avoid this at all costs. However, if your
\ncode is strictly for handling your grocery list, and you don’t mind coming home with 100 extra cans of Minestrone,
\nonly to find that your wife didn’t enter them, this might be optimal for you.\n<\/div>\n
\nAnother very important thing to remember: never leave debugging on any longer than you have to. Once you’ve
\ncompleted your mission, be sure to turn it off. This will help to minimize the chances of someone grabbing your
\ndata while you aren’t looking.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
