License: Other
Languages: PHP, Shell, Dockerfile
Buggregator is a lightweight, standalone server that offers a range of debugging features for PHP applications. Built using the reliable Spiral Framework, the powerful NuxtJs, and the speedy RoadRunner under the hood. It's a versatile tool that can be run on multiple platforms via Docker.
Whether you're an experienced developer or just starting, Buggregator offers essential features like Xhprof, Symfony var-dumper, Monolog, Sentry, SMTP catcher, and Inspector that make it easy to identify and resolve issues. With no additional packages required, it's effortless to use, making it a must-have tool in your development arsenal.
In this section, we'll explore the different features that Buggregator supports and how they can help you identify and resolve issues with your application.
The Xhprof profiler is an essential feature of Buggregator that offers a lightweight and hierarchical profiling solution for PHP applications. It uses instrumentation to keep track of call counts and inclusive metrics for arcs in the dynamic callgraph of your program during the data collection phase. In the reporting and post-processing phase, the profiler computes exclusive metrics such as wall (elapsed) time, CPU time, and memory usage.
With the Xhprof profiler, you can easily identify performance bottlenecks and optimize your application's code for better efficiency. So, if you're looking to fine-tune your PHP application's performance, the Xhprof profiler is the perfect tool for the job.
pear channel-update pear.php.net
pecl install xhprof
If you are using Spiral Framework you just need to install the spiral/profiler package.
composer require --dev spiral/profiler:^3.0
After installing the package, you need to configure it. The package provides predefined environment variables to configure the profiler.
PROFILER_ENDPOINT=http://[email protected]:8000
PROFILER_APP_NAME=My super app
Note: Read more about package usage in the package documentation.
Buggregator is fully compatible with the
Symfony VarDumper component, which is an
essential feature for debugging PHP applications. By default, the dump()
and dd()
functions output their contents
in the same browser window or console terminal as your own application. This can be confusing at times, as it mixes the
real output with the debug output.
With Buggregator, however, you can easily collect all the dumped data, making it simpler to identify and isolate issues. So, whether you're an experienced developer or just starting, the Symfony VarDumper server in Buggregator is an essential tool to have in your development arsenal.
composer require --dev symfony/var-dumper
You should change dumper format to server
for var-dumper component. There is a VAR_DUMPER_FORMAT
env variable in the
package to do it.
VAR_DUMPER_FORMAT=server
VAR_DUMPER_SERVER=127.0.0.1:9912 # Default value
via PHP
// Plain PHP
$_SERVER['VAR_DUMPER_FORMAT'] = 'server';
$_SERVER['VAR_DUMPER_SERVER'] = '127.0.0.1:9912';
Buggregator is more than just a PHP debugging tool. It also includes a powerful email testing feature that allows you to install and configure a local email server with ease.
For example, you can configure a local WordPress site to use Buggregator's SMTP server for email deliveries. This makes it effortless to test email functionality during the development phase, ensuring that everything works as expected before deployment. So, if you're looking for a reliable and easy-to-use email testing tool, Buggregator's fake SMTP server is the way to go.
Env variables
// Spiral Framework or Symfony
MAILER_DSN=smtp://127.0.0.1:1025
# Laravel
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=127.0.0.1
MAIL_PORT=1025
Buggregator offers seamless integration with Sentry reports, making it a reliable tool for local development. With it, you can easily configure your Sentry DSN to send data directly to the server, providing you with a lightweight alternative for debugging your application.
By using Buggregator to receive Sentry reports, you can identify and fix issues with your application before deploying it to production. This ensures that your application is robust and efficient, providing a smooth experience for your users. So, if you're looking for an easy and efficient way to receive Sentry reports during local development, Buggregator is the perfect tool for you.
Spiral Framework is supported via a native package. You can read about integrations on official site

Buggregator comes with a powerful Monolog server that can receive logs from the popular monolog/monolog
package via
the \Monolog\Handler\SocketHandler
handler. With this feature, you can easily track and analyze the logs generated by
your PHP application, making it easier to identify issues and improve its overall performance.
By using Buggregator's Monolog server, you can gain valuable insights into your application's behavior and improve its overall efficiency. So, whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting, the Monolog server in Buggregator is a must-have tool for anyone serious about PHP development.

It's an indispensable tool that simplifies the process of capturing, analyzing, and debugging HTTP requests in their applications. With the HTTP Requests Dump Server, developers can effortlessly capture all the relevant request data and gain valuable insights. They can dive deep into the captured requests, examine their contents, and pinpoint any issues or anomalies that might be affecting their application's performance.
Simply start the server and send your requests to the http://[email protected]:8000
URL, it will not only
capture the URI segments but also gather additional details such as the request headers
, cookies
, POST data
,
query strings
, and any uploaded files
.
For instance, let's say you have a POST request: http://[email protected]:8000/user/3/update
. In this case,
server will intercept the request and capture all the relevant information. It will then display the
dumped data, allowing you to examine the request details, including the URI segments (user/3/update
in this example).
Buggregator is compatible with spatie/ray
package. The Ray debug tool supports PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, TypeScript,
NodeJS, Go and Bash applications. After installing one of the libraries, you can use the ray function to quickly dump
stuff. Any variable(s) that you pass will be sent to the Buggregator.
