It can be a bit tricky "seeing the wood from the trees" in those logs sometimes as they include all of the framework's logging and SQL updates some of which (e.g. the gamelog and notification trace) be quite large.

for me it works when I do this:

Code: Select all

$holder = array_shift( $an8 );
$holderdisplay = $holder['type_arg'];
var_dump($holderdisplay);
die('ok');

I think you can also display the whole array by putting $holder in the var_dump, but I'm not sure about one element of an array. Someone with more experience should confirm this.

  function stNewHand()
	{
		//$this->cards->moveAllCardsInLocation(null, 'deck' );
		$this->cards->shuffle( 'deck' );
 		do { //draw starting card
			$this->cards->pickCardForLocation( "deck", "cardsontable" );
			$an8 = $this->cards->getCardsOfTypeInLocation( NULL, "8", "cardsontable" );
			$holder = array_shift( $an8 );
			$holderdisplay = $holder['type_arg'];
var_dump($holderdisplay);
die('ok');
			if ( $holder['type_arg'] == "8" )
			{
				$this->cards->moveAllCardsInLocation( "cardsontable" , "deck" );
				$this->cards->shuffle( 'deck' );
			}	
		} while ( $holder['type_arg'] == "8" ); 
		$players = self::loadPlayersBasicInfos();
		foreach ( $players as $player_id => $player )
		{
			$cards = $this->cards->pickCards( 5, 'deck', $player_id );
			self::notifyPlayer($player_id, 'newHand', '', array ('cards' => $cards ));
		}

	}

You can call php functions from the chat window, just type stNewHand()


I use var_dump() and sometimes die();
complete arrays will work in var_dump();

I did use echo once when things got really hairy and wanted some nicer formatted output, for the most part var_dump() works perfectly.

die() will give a red message of 'Ajaxcall error: empty answer' when appropriate.
die() will also help to stop any DB final commit changes, much the same as the exceptions do like feException() and BgaUserException(); var_dump() alone will not stop the commits.
