I don't really have snippets I reuse. I might occasionally pinch a function from another project, but there's nothing I can think of that would be worth a snippet, and I've never really remembered to use them when I've tried.

I do have these vim mappings for older PHP projects which don't have much in the way of development tools:

autocmd FileType php nnoremap <buffer> <leader>dump Oheader('X-XSS-Protection:0');ob_get_clean(); echo '<pre>'; var_dump([]); echo '</pre>'; die(__FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);<esc>F[a
autocmd FileType php nnoremap <buffer> <leader>args Oheader('X-XSS-Protection:0');ob_get_clean(); echo '<pre>'; var_dump(func_get_args()); echo '</pre>'; die(__FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);<esc>F[a
autocmd FileType php nnoremap <buffer> <leader>back Oheader('X-XSS-Protection:0');ob_get_clean(); echo '<pre>'; foreach (debug_backtrace() as $d) { echo $d['file'] . ':' . $d['line'] . ' ' . $d['function'] . "()\n"; } echo '</pre>'; d  ie(__FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);<esc>^
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

They'll let me paste in a variable dump with my cursor positioned where I need to put in the thing to debug, or a generic stack trace. They also cope with frameworks that do tricky things with output buffering.

That's about it.
