Adds a PHP/SQL console to the debug bar. Requires the Debug Bar plugin (v0.5 or later).
Update 2024-10-28: I’ve adopted this plugin and taken over development.
I use this add-on for the Debug Bar plugin on personal, client, and customer sites all the time and it never fails to help me solve problems more efficiently. It’s a shame that it no longer shows up in plugin search results because the tested-up-to version is out of date, but that doesn’t stop me from manually installing it. Consistently reliable and gets the job done. This plugin is vital to my WordPress debugging toolbox.
Very easy to use and useful for debugging

L’ús és molt senzill i és molt util per desenvolupar plugins
This is great for testing WP or simply experimenting with PHP.
I find myself using the console more and more. A must have for theme and plugin developers. Highly recommended.
This plugin allows you to debug MySql and PHP problems just like you had ssh access to the server. It’s great when working with clients who have their own IT department and my limit a developers access.
