HLI: Configuration

Configuration

Here I list some options you can set by the hli()-function. Note that you will find more options if you look into the HLI_Config class, but these here are known to work.

There is really no need to do any configuration as HLI is written and preconfigured to be used right away.

bool backtrace: Switches whether the backtrace should be printed or not. Defaults to true.
hli('backtrace',false);
hli('backtrace',true);
bool return: If true, pre() and ifpre() will return the HLI dump window code instead of printing it right away. Defaults to false.
hli('return',true);
hli('return',false);
int maxDumpLevel: Specifies how deep recursive dumps should work. The DB-plugin uses this value multiplied by 10 to get the number of rows to dump. Defaults to 10.
hli('maxDumpLevel',2);
hli('maxDumpLevel',10);
bool startWithHiddenBlocks: If true, recursive dumps will all be folded on page load except for the first level. Defaults to false.
HLI('startWithHiddenBlocks',true);
HLI('startWithHiddenBlocks',false);
bool useOutputBuffering: If true, HLI will buffer the output of your code and will place its summary (the little symbol in the lower left corner of you browser window) before the </body>-tag (if there is one), so it doesn't break the validity of your XHTML. Defaults to false.; IMPORTANT: Switching output buffering on and off will corrupt your page! This is only ment to be turned on once.
hli('useOutputBuffering',true);
string quotesOnStrings: Specify the type of quotation marks to be used on string dumps. Possible values are double, single and none. Note that dump plugins do not need to respect this option. Defaults to single.
hli('quotesOnStrings','double');
hli('quotesOnStrings','none');
hli('quotesOnStrings','single');
string commonPath: If not empty, this will be used as the common path that is cut-off from every filepath-string. Defaults to the directory of the including file (the one that called HLI/init.php).
$oldCommon = hli('commonPath');
hli('commonPath','');
hli('commonPath',$oldCommon);
bool useCalledAtWithParamValues: By default (false), the breakpoint-function in the first line of dump-window headers shows the literal value of what you typed into that function. If you turn this on, it will be replaced by the value of that. This workes faster but is not as informative, as the value is what is dumped just below.
hli('useCalledAtWithParamValues',true);
hli('useCalledAtWithParamValues',false);
bool validateXML: This is for HLI developers only. It makes HLI significantly slower and will check the generated XML before passing it to the output component. I will not accept any plugins that break my XML Schema. On the other hand, if you write a plugin that breaks validity for a good reason, it is very likely that I will not hesitate to change the schema ...
hli('validateXML',true);

hli('validateXML',false);
