Turbo Console Log v3.22.0 moves PHP support into the free core extension. You can now insert, comment, uncomment, delete, and correct PHP log messages without a Pro license.

This is a deliberate product decision: language support should be broadly accessible. Pro remains focused on workspace-scale power features, while every PHP developer gets the same fast single-file debugging workflow that JavaScript and TypeScript developers already use every day.

What Changed

v3.22.0 moves PHP support from the Pro bundle into the free core extension. Every PHP debugging command is now available to all users with the same shortcuts already used for JavaScript and TypeScript.

  • print_r() — ⌘K ⌘N / Ctrl+K Ctrl+N
  • error_log() — ⌘K ⌘B or ⌘K ⌘E / Ctrl+K Ctrl+B or Ctrl+K Ctrl+E

Manage

  • Comment — Alt+Shift+C
  • Uncomment — Alt+Shift+U
  • Delete — Alt+Shift+D
  • Correct — Alt+Shift+X
Available in the free core extension
  • Insert var_dump(), print_r(), and error_log() statements from dedicated shortcuts
  • Comment and uncomment Turbo PHP log messages in the active file
  • Delete inserted PHP log messages once debugging is finished
  • Correct PHP log messages after variable names or context change
  • Use the same AST-aware placement model across JS, TS, and PHP
