Besides the above (and var_dump - if possible plus the PEAR Var_Dump
package to make it more readable) I only really use XDebug (pecl install
xdebug).

I also use Ubuntu, and I have a copy of Zend Studio Pro, but I don't use
the debugging functionality, as I find it a little counter intuitive. 

Best thing to do IMO, is set your error_reporting to E_ALL or E_STRICT
and install xdebug.
