## What it is
ChromePhp is a PHP library that logs server-side PHP variables to the Google Chrome console via the Chrome Logger extension. It sends log data through response headers so developers can inspect backend variables directly in the browser's developer tools.

## Use cases
- log PHP variables to the Chrome console
- debug server-side PHP code in the browser
- inspect $_SERVER and other variables during development
- view warnings and errors from PHP in devtools
- replace var_dump debugging with browser console logging

## When to choose
- you develop PHP web apps and want server-side logs visible in Chrome devtools
- you prefer browser console output over log files during debugging

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with active support or a license file
- your team uses browsers other than Chrome
- you need structured centralized logging rather than per-tab console output

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: logging, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, backend
- platform: php, browser
- tags: chrome-logger, chrome-devtools, server-side-debugging, browser-console, debugging, web-server
