Is there a way to copy the content of variables in PHP

Hi,

In Webuilder with xDebug support, we can hover over a variable and see its contents. But if it's a long string, the it seems impossible to see all of it. Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to search through the string.

Is there a way to copy and paste the contents of a variable, during a debugging session?

Ok, I was able to get some of the content of the Watch variables displayed, although the contents are truncated, when trying to Copy and Paste.

However, it's not clear how the Evaluate button works. if I highlight the name of a variable in the source, then click Evaluate, it doesn't show anything. If I click Add Watch from the context menu, while in the Evaluate mode, it does nothing.

Is there a specific link, on how to work with the Debug Tools? The Debug information in WeBuilder's Help describes installation, Running and setting breakpoints. But it doesn't explain how to watch variables.

To evaluate a variable, select Evaluate tab and in the textbox enter your variable (e.g. $a) and press Evaluate button or Enter on keyboard.
