http://growl.info.
What makes Growl different from other debugging methods ?
All data is sent via UDP to a listener application running on background as a unix daemon.
This means that the debugging data will not interfere with the content on your page.
Avoid echo, var_dump, print_r, that you could use/add and forget to remove
once your debugging step is over !

Long time ago, I was jealous of Bertrand Mansion, author of many good packages, and especially PEAR::Net_Growl; see also it's page project
Jealous because I didn't worked on Mac OS, but I love the Growl notification system.
I've search a lot over the Net to find a compatible Windows solution. I primary found this post about Snarl Windows Notification API, and I though my quest was over. But it was a great disillusion !
Snarl for PHP is not yet available.
I've concluded to let down to find a cool tool to allow to receive on my windows desktop any application log events.
3 Years later my dream became a reality.
I found Growl for Windows a Windows-compatible version.
Special Thanks to Bertrand, without who this Quest wouldn't finished with a Happy End
Growl 0.1.0 features supports.
Operating System independent.
