How to Debug Variables like in PHP var dump

Question

I have some variables inside a template and I don't know where I assigned them. I need to know what is inside a particular variable; for instance, say I have a variable in smarty called member. I tried with {debug} but it didn't work, and no popup was shown.

How can I output/debug smarty variables using something like var_dump() inside the templates?

Hello @kartik,

Try out with the Smarty Session:

{$smarty.session|@debug_print_var}

or

{$smarty.session|@print_r}

To make your output more beautiful, use it between <pre> </pre> tags

thank you!!
