This version of the plugin is compatible with CakePHP 1.3 and the latest DebugKit

/* About */ This plugin adds easy interactions with your CakePHP app using the console or through a custom panel for the CakePHP DebugKit.
It handles simple PHP commands, SQL queries and PHP using your Cake objects.

/* Examples */ 10 % 4 (returns 2) is_array(49) (returns false) SELECT id FROM users WHERE email = '[email protected]' (retuns the id of the matching record) User::findByEmail('[email protected]') (returns the entire matching user record)

/* Power Usage */ When using in the DebugKit panel you can stack commands, just make sure to end each with a ";" as you would in your code.

If you're having trouble getting results for a particular command and can't figure out why try turning on debug as the first command: Configure::write('debug', 2); User::findByEmail('[email protected]'); Facebook.Page::findByEmail('[email protected]'); // here we use a plugin

/* Warning */ There isn't any sort of error detection or validation on the input. Also there isn't any pagination for long result sets. If you enter in a query that returns a million records, you're going to get a million records.

You can't declare a variable and use it across commands. For example this doesn't work: $i = 10; $i ++;
