SilverStripe can be a large and complex framework to debug, but there are ways to make debugging less painful. In this
guide we show the basics on defining the correct [Environment Type](environment_types) for your application and other

built-in helpers for dealing with application errors.

```php
2014-10-13 10:52:19 +02:00
Debug::show($myVariable);
// similar to print_r($myVariable) but shows it in a more useful format.
2014-10-13 10:52:19 +02:00
Debug::message("Wow, that's great");
// prints a short debugging message.
