PHP Console 3.0 - the most important update for 3 years

Three years have passed since the release of the first version, which you could read about in the article How to make friends with PHP with the Google Chrome console . During this time, the extension gained 43 `000 active users , and, last but not least, in November 2013 it was updated to version 3.0. Several months of development, and it turned out to be a completely rewritten, several times more functional version.

Video presentation with a demonstration of 90% of the expansion functionality. You can also try out how it all works by installing the extension and going to the test server examples page (by the way, the PHP code remote execution example is set up for the PHP 5.5 sandbox, who are interested, you can experiment with the new 5.5 features, just don't hang the server :) :)

Your opinion

The server-side code, though covered in ~ 200 tests, is somehow possible some flaws and bugs. I would be very grateful if you leave feedback about the extension, and if you find any bug or missing functionality, then report it .

I will also be very grateful to everyone who responds to help porting the PHP Console to other languages.
