Sorry, Toby. Believe it or not - my spell checker "corrected" your name
and I missed it. I've now added your name to the dictionary so it
doesn't happen again :-)

And yes, I use something similar, except I use a class with static
functions and a static variable. If the variable is true it prints the
info.

That way I can say something like:

Debug::setFlag(true);
Debug::dump($var);
Debug::print_r($array);

Turn things on and off with the setFlag member. And a file quick search
on Debug:: will find the references to delete them. Or I can just
create a dummy debug class which does nothing (and therefore has very
little overhead).
