It's console.log() for PHP!
PHP console::log is a class that is modeled after Chrome's console API. The console class is a wrapper class that inserts logs from PHP into the browser's console.
Include the console class
require_once "console.php";
Variables, objects and arrays can then be passed to the console. The logs are automatically exported to the console.
console::log( "hello world!" );
