Hi all,
I am getting tired of writing echo statements for almost every
parameter, then deleting them while I am writing code. I would really
like a debugger which would work with my browser. I have run across an
open source one, Xdebug, and would like to hear of other's experience
with it. 2.0.2 is, I believe, the latest release.

hi mary,
using xdebug for debugging involves the selection of a debugging client
besides
just the debugger itself. with xdebug ive used Eclipse PDT, and
Protoeditor.
PDT was really smooth because if i did something in the browser like,
navigate
away from the current page for example; PDT seemed to capture that. The
downside of PDT was a lack of directory mapping support (they may have it by
now). what this is, is a way to tell your xdebug client where the files on
the
remote server are, that are on your local system (the ones youre debugging).
since PDT lacked this feature, i was unable to set breakpoints, which was
very
limiting.
protoeditor is cool, but i had some problems with it as well; in all it
didnt seem
nearly as smooth as PDT and it didnt seem to be able to capture navigation
away from the current page in the browser, also quite limiting.
one issue i had w/ PDT was personal confusion with the controls in the ui.
sometimes i would have to close down eclipse just to sort of reset things.
in general, i think youll find these tools neat to experiment with, but when
i was
using them several months back they didnt seem ready for prime time.
perhaps i should give them another look..

It suddenly dawned on me that you are doing an echo for every paremeter,
a debugger will never completely alleviate the need for this, however
try using:
print_r(get_defined_vars());
instead, that way you get everything output that you could need, it's
often also worth putting an exit(); after prining out so you can see
where the script is failing; if indeed it is.

get_defined_vars() can be a real hassle to sift through, mainly because it
spits out a bunch of data you dont usually want to see. if you want to see
the values of a given functions parameters w/o an echo statement for each
on the best way is to use, func_get_args();
eg.
die(var_dump(func_get_args()));
also, xdebug has something called function traces; which you dont need to
configure a client for. it will simply log all function calls to a file and
its
configurable, so you can have it log the values of actual parameters if you
like. and it also ships w/ a special highlighter for vim, which is quite
nice.

Evening,
with a great deal of assuming, I would assume that you are saving all
these new users to database, in that database you have a unique key on
the email address (as you should) and because you're using the same
email address, the insert's are getting ignored. ie function runs, but
no data is saved due to key conflicts.
that is with a hell of a lot of assuming though! try the ol' echo
"here"; in your function and see if you get five "here"'s on screen!

i have a method called CreateUser() which is public and takes 5
variables as its data, then adds them to a db. it only executes the
first method not the other although its all the same but the variable.
ex:
$auth = new auth();
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 1, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 2, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 3, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 4, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 5, "fake name", 4);
any ideas? only the first method gets executed?

save passwords as sha2 or such like instead?
further, it would appear that since the "old password" "new password" is
set mysql server side, then php will have no bearing what so ever on
how passwords are saved, seeing as it's mysql which will run the
password() function and not php :)
ps too bad on the ol php 4 job

Hi,
I have a clean php 4.4.7 compile but it still shows the old mysql lib
version. I can't find where it is picking that up at. Is it just built
into the php sources that way?
Yes, it is included with the php source. If you want it to use newer libs, then
download the devel packages for the newer mysql version and at compile time,
point the configure script for php use the newer devel libs instead. That
should be all that is needed.
Good idea! I may end up doing that.
My goal is to position this so that a move to php5 would work and not
be stuck with a bunch of old-style mysql passwords that need updated
by users (since the original passwords are not retrievable of course
for conversion unless I store plain text copies, which I do not want
to do).
Thanks for your input.

Often people install php4 and 5 on the same server, then configure .php
to use the latest version of php(5) and anything with extension php4 to
use the old`e php4.
Thus, the file contents remain the same, however the way they are
executed depends entirely on the server(s) config.
