In my debug function I added some functionallity to print out from where the function was called:

<?php
function debug($value=''){
	$btr=debug_backtrace();
	$line=$btr[0]['line'];
	$file=basename($btr[0]['file']);
	print"<pre>$file:$line</pre>\n";
	if(is_array($value)){
		print"<pre>";
		print_r($value);
		print"</pre>\n";
	}elseif(is_object($value)){
		$value.dump();
	}else{
		print("<p>&gt;${value}&lt;</p>");
	}
}
?>

Thereby it is easy to keep the overview if you debug more variables simultaneously or, if the program crashes somewhere, just throw in a few debug() and you'll easily see how far the program comes
