Relational entity too big to debug [duplicate]

Question

I have around 40 entities and many bidirectional relationships. Whenever i use var_dump($user) or any entity my browser gets loaded with too much data of arrays and variables then it just crashed.

i want to whats the problem.

The data is being inserted fine. Can i cause issue in production.

Answer 1

Replace var_dump() with the debug method dump() provided by Doctrine Common.

\Doctrine\Common\Util\Debug::dump($user);

It works for single objects and Doctrine collections and should prevent browser displaying issues you are having.
