[PHP-DEV] Debugger protocol

[Varun Shoor]

Hi there,            I have been working on an Open Source IDE for PHP but from what i heard in the #php the debugger protocol is no more open in PHP4? And only binaries are distributed and above all it is illegal to reverse engineer the protocol. Why in the world is this done?... I mean PHP is supposed to be open, right?.. The protocol was open in PHP3 but now i hear that it is closed.. isnt this a perfect monoply?.. Everyone knows an IDE is nothing without a good debugger and if i cant add it then all of my time devoted to this thing will go waste.. Someone care to tell me a way out?
