how to disable var_dump() in xdebug?

Question

Is it possible to switch off var_dump() in PHP application when using with Xdebug? I have used several var_dump() which break the page. I want some function or way so that it is possible to switch off/on the var_dump() output and so it is possible to see the whole page structure without the dumped data for debug purpose.

Answer 1

Put this in the php.ini settings

xdebug.overload_var_dump=0

Otherwise, you can set this also at runtime with:

ini_set("xdebug.overload_var_dump", "off");
