The easiest way is using the `render()` functions ```PHP getJavascriptRenderer(); $debugbar["messages"]->addMessage("hello world!"); ?> renderHead() ?> ... render() ?> ``` The DebugBar uses DataCollectors to collect data from your PHP code. Some of them are automated but others are manual. Use the `DebugBar` like an array where keys are the collector names. In our previous example, we add a message to the `MessagesCollector`: ```PHP $debugbar["messages"]->addMessage("hello world!"); ``` `StandardDebugBar` activates the following collectors: - `MemoryCollector` (*memory*) - `MessagesCollector` (*messages*) - `PhpInfoCollector` (*php*) - `RequestDataCollector` (*request*) - `TimeDataCollector` (*time*) - `ExceptionsCollector` (*exceptions*) Learn more about DebugBar in the [docs](http://phpdebugbar.com/docs).
