Kohana Debug Toolbar

Kohana is a really wonderful PHP MVC web application framework.  It was orginally a fork of Codeigniter adapted to be pure PHP5.  I have been using Kohana for several months now and have really enjoyed it’s terse nature and cascading directory structure.

One of the coolest things I’ve seen in any PHP MVC framework is Symfony’s Web Debug Toolbar.  The toolbar displays at the top right of your application as you are developing, offering quick access to important data and metrics.  I wanted to bring this functionality to Kohana so I created the Kohana Debug Toolbar.  It offers the same functionality as Symfony’s toolbar, as well as a few added features.

In addition to the features supported by the Symfony version, the KDT has support for FirePHP and AJAX (jQuery only for now).  I am constantly working to improve and extend the toolbar.  A demo of the toolbar can be seen here and below is a screenshot of the toolbar in action.
