Re: [PHP] PHP debugger

[J. Manuel Velasco - UBILIBET]

NOTE: If you are interesting in PHP Debuggers, this is not the mail,
check the start of the thread since after I decided to try JasonPruim
Debug :p we are trying to solve one specific  problem.

Now, to who is following the thread ... don't hung me, but i think the
problem was there was because there was no permission to write in a
logfile.

---> BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/home/httpd/bin/esnic/whois.pl line 9.
line9 = use EPP::Client;
right at Client.pm there is the declaration og the log file.

My inexcusable big mistake, don't check the logs before, in fact i saw
it yesterday looking for other thing. But since running the sccript
from command line there was no error... I didn't realise to check them
:-/

Now it works :)

Thank you very much for following and assistance.

Morning,

So looking at those scripts I realized that perl is nothing like php ;)

Is there other info that the different places need? or is it just a
different URL?

I'm wondering why you could do something like:

HTTP://www.myCool.es/?query="$nom.$ext";
	break;
case 'eu';
	$cmd = HTTP://www.myCool.eu/?query="$nom.ext";
	break;
default;
	$cmd = HTTP://www.whois.com/?query="$nom.ext";
break;
}
?>

instead of calling out to a different script?

Also, I noticed that in your script where you have "default:" in your
switch, you have a : instead of a ;


  
  
Actually, the colon is correct: http://uk.php.net/switch

You also need to enclose your string declarations correctly and add the $
before ext, e.g.
$cmd = "http://www.whois.com/?query=$nom.$ext";
or
$cmd = 'http://www.whois.com/?query='.$nom.'.'.$ext;

Re: [PHP] PHP debugger

[J. Manuel Velasco - UBILIBET]

Iep,

First of all, thank you verfy much to take a moment to check the
scripts, I really appreciate.

About your idea to have only one script that call to the appropiate
command using a switch, I agree, but since I am new here and I am the
only computing guy, I don't have time to restructure the code. I saw
also other code in the Intranet where I'd have done in a different way
easier to maintain, I think, but I have to make this to work and
apparently I don't think  reestructuring the code will solve the
problem, at least in a way that i can understand why the script doesn't
want to run now. Also, the process to build the query and connect to
the registar are different in each case, so maybe it is the reason why
who who implemented this whois webapp has done like this.

If you want to check the site I am trying to fix and have a whole idea
it is at http://whois.ubilibet.com, if you check the tool, the ES
domains has no result at the site. I write to the log the command
construction, copy and paste at the command line at it works.

By other hand your note about the default option I ddin't realise, I am
going to check, but I feel very confused why the command I pass in the
script to the passthru function, is executed from command line with no
error and giving the right result. That's why I focused the problem in
the PHP script.

Thank you very much human debugger :)

I am new here, this is a small company and I am the only computing man,
so the person who implemented theses scripts are far away to ask for

Since I deduced there are different whoises scripts because the way to
make the petition is different depending on the domain (es) the query
is to an organization, ESNIC, (eu) query is to another organization,
EURID and for the rest it is executed just the *NIX whois command.


So since the connection, and the data exchange structure are different,
we need diferent scripts.


I attach now the files I metioned in my last email. If anybody can
check why the whois_es script doesn't run... you will be my idol !


Note: I hae change the name os the scripts since they are located in
specific place.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

In my whois web-app, when a EU doamin is queried, whois.pl perl script
is lunched and I got the right result to my PHP script I the result is
shown at the web.

If I do the query to a ES domain, other whois.pl script is lunched, but
passthru doesn't execute it.

Both scripts are almost the same, they are in the same file structure,
same machine, same permissions...

  
  
Have you tried to use a program to compare the files? Make sure that
only the necessary lines are different?
  
  

The most strange is that I logged the command petition and If I copy
and paste exaclty the same that is passed to passthru, the command for
the whois to ESNIC is executed in the command line and shows the
result.


Collegues told me to check the ENV, permissions, and so on, I did with
no results, also, the other perl script that is almost the same is
executed, so I feel very very lost.


Three files attached:

whois_es.pl -> perl script to query whois in ESNIC

whois_eu.pl -> perl script to query whois in EURID

container.php  -> intermediate page where the commands are build
and passthru is executed.

  
  
Is there any particular reason you are using different perl scripts
instead of a simple whois script for all of them?

Hello,

Anybody knows a good debugger for PHP and basic usage?

I've found: http://dd.cron.ru/dbg/, what do you think about it ?

Thanks.

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.

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.

Re: [PHP] PHP Debugger

ive been working with xdebug <http://xdebug.org/>lately.
you wont find me paying for zend studio;
im on the open source tip :)

i must admit though, the experience has been anything but painless.
however, if you work w/ legacy spaghetti code, or youre just sick
of writing echo statements on the server,
xdebug is definitely worth trying.

so far ive worked w/ protoeditor and eclipse pdt.  they both have pros / and
cons
but im already used to the eclipse environment, so ill probly settle on pdt.

The following assumes object-oriented programming paradigms are at least
somewhat applied. I would guess functional would be similar, but procedural
code, you might be on your own there...

I actually use two classes that I include at the bottom of all of my library
definitions (in if(!class_exists()){declare}format). One provides warning
and error message storage, the other type assertion. Between the two of
these, I have simple unit testing that I can perform as I am developing a
class, as well as pre-included simple error logging that, when I install
into the greater system, can be incorporated into the systemic error
catching routines without refactoring code, in most cases to weld-on
systemic error routines.

Thinking aloud, getting code to work correctly usually means testing it
against what you expect it to do, so doing that at a very localized level
first can be helpful. Once I started doing this, my implementation issues
somewhat went away. Results (and implementations) may very.

Firebug in Firefox is a very well-developed javascript debugger, featuring
console.log(), which allows you to stop using alert() for error checking.
Very nice! And I put this:


// Solve the firebug extension issue in IE by try/catching and creating a
blank object console.log();
try{console.log();}catch(e){var console=new
Object;console={log:function(){var k=0;}};};


At the head of each js file to prevent errors in IE or other browsers
without Firebug installed.

2 things:

1. when you have no hair left whatsoever:

var_dump($foo); exit;

2. error_log() is your friend  tail the log and run the code.

just a thought.



Hey Jochem,

It's been a long slog, and I'm still playing with "test" programs to
figure out how things work. It sure isn't like using a desktop
debugger, especially as we are doing it all remotely.

extension=dbg.so  ;dbg.so-5.2.x

debugger.hosts_allow= <>
debugger.hosts_deny=ALL
debugger.ports=7869, 1/16
; end [debugger] section

Couple of notes:
1. Tried this with extension pointing to both dbg.so and dbg.so-5.2.x.
(The latter is what the instructions specified, but that did not seem
correct.)

2. Also tried it, in combination with above, with  debugger.hosts_allow,
debugger.hosts_deny and debugger.ports all commented out.

3. PHP version is 5.2.1, compiled from source on a Ubuntu Edgy Eft server.

I'm wondering it I should download the source and compile it. That
might be a better way home than assuming the binary is correct.

Arno, your suggestion to install the NuSphere editor is a good one.
I'm just reluctant to add more junk to my Windows box and to allow
something other than atp-get / dselect to mess with server
configuration. (Although it is a development box, so errors are not
terminal!)

Thanks to everyone for suggestions.

Hi Miles

I'm not sure I follow your configuration - are you running on Windows or
Linux? You shouldn't need to compile anything as far as I'm aware, just use
the binaries.

I'm using PHPEd 5.0 for Windows, so my config won't be the same as yours.

My ini setup is:


extension=php_dbg.dll-4.4.x

[debugger]
debugger.enabled=On
debugger.profiler_enabled=On


I've been using PHPEd for about 3 years so there are several dbg files in my
extensions dir, but the latest is "php_dbg.dll-4.4.x" (that is the actual
file name in extensions directory) which coincides with the name in the ini
file, and the timestamp coincides with the ver 5.0 release date. According
to your description for your Linux box I reckon you should be using
"dbg.so-5.2.x" in your ini file and in your extensions dir.

From previous experience I know the dbg extension is very fussy. You can't
specify more than one dbg in your ini, and the dbg must be the correct one
for your platform and your version of php. You can't change the name of the
file, and if the binary is for one specific ver of php then you must have
that ver of php running. Any error here and it just doesn't work.

Hope that helps

Cheers
Arno

[PHP] Re: PHP debugger

[Emil Ivanov]

Currently I'm Using PDT/XDebug on daily basis and works just fine.
You can get Xdebug from www.xdebug.org,
PDT from www.eclipse.org/pdt
and the plugin for PDT to add support to the PDT is 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=169408

In the plugin precompiled package you'll find a pdf with instruction how to 
get things working. On the Xdebug site there's a lot of information how to 
setup PHP and XDebug.
Note that the precompiled binary of the support for PDT will work for you, 
as it's written in Java and you don't need to compile it.

Emil Ivanov

[PHP] PHP debugger

[Miles Thompson]

I am trying to load a PHP debugger in our most recent build of PHP 5.2.1.

The debugger which I am trying to set up is the free, pre-compiled
Linux version of dbg ( DBG 2.15.5 dbg modules), from
http://dd.cron.ru/dbg/, and all of the instructions have been followed
as posted on the NuSphere site.

Yes, Apache has been stopped and restarted!!

There is no difference in the output from phpinfo(). The line
"with DBG v2.11.30, (C) 2000,2004 by Dmitri Dmitrienko, http://dd.cron.ru";

Yes. You have to install eclipse platform, and then, PHPEclipse plugin.

I see. I'll have a look at it latter. Never really used it.

That's odd. I'll look into it when I try it out.

Re: [PHP] PHP Debugger Recommendations

[Dave M G]

Thiago Silva,

Thank you for responding, and for recommending some PHP debuggers that I 
had not yet heard of.
I'm not familiar with Windows options (only PHPEdit comes to my mind), but as 
far as I can tell, Zend, NuSphere, Komodo and PHPEclipse are main options 
when it comes to feature rich IDEs, and I guess all of them are multi 
plataform. 
  
These are all ones I've looked at, except for PHPEclipse. Is it not the 
case that with PHPEclipse one needs to install the Eclipse framework and 
then PHPEclipse as a plug in?


For GNU/Linux, there are some folks using Quanta+gubed (a pure php debugger) I 
belive.
  
I hadn't realized there was a debugger plug in for Quanta. I'll look 
into that, as I was using Quanta before for simple editing, and thought 
it was reasonable enough.



Me, myself, I use Protoeditor, wich is strictly editor+debugger.
  

I will try out Protoeditor as well.



Just out of curiosity, what specific problems have you encountered by using a 
multilanguage debugger?
  
"Problems" is perhaps too harsh a word. All I meant was that with 
options for dealing with multiple languages, that adds a lot of unneeded 
interface and feature options. I'm sure it's great if you actually debug 
more than one language, and it can save you from switching applications. 
But if you're dealing with strictly one language, then it's a little 
bloated.


The deal breaker is that when it comes to debugging forms, 
one has to manually simulate inputs.



What do you mean by "simulate"? 
  
It's a little hard to describe, but lets say you want to debug a script 
that has a submit form in it. Instead of hitting submit and having 
Komodo pull in and use the $_POST variables, you have to start from the 
page that receives the $_POST data, and then manually type in all the 
input you expect a user to give you. There's a page that describes what 
I mean in their online documentation, but I can't find it at the moment.




All I can say about NushPhere is that I've used it in GNU/Linux for a while, 
but that was 3 years ago.
  


On the forums on the NuShere page, they actively discuss the Linux 
package. So it is definitely available somehow. And apparently they are 
on the verge of releasing an updated Linux version. But trying to find 
any currently available download page for it was an Easter egg hunt that 
exceeded my patience.




What about Protoeditor or PHPEclipse?
  

I am going to try them out. Thank you for suggesting them.

[PHP] PHP Debugger Recommendations

[Dave M G]

PHP List,

I have been experimenting with using Zend Studio the last week or so, 
and I apologize in advance if anyone here takes offense, but it has been 
a most unsatisfactory experience.


In order to debug a script that involves anything like a form with user 
$_POST data, one needs to install the nebulous and fragile Zend 
Platform. To make a long story short, I have not yet succeeded in 
overcoming it's overwhelming complexity to make it work, or solve all 
the problems in installation and running it.


When I asked here before (to the annoyance of some) about Zend, someone 
said that there were "plenty of free alternatives".


While free would be nice, I am willing to pay for a commercial product 
up to a hundred or so US. I would prefer open source and all, but my 
higher priority is something that works well.


Looking on the net, I can find many PHP *editors*, but they do not have 
debugging features. I need something with call stacks, break points, etc...


For fully qualified debuggers, I've found Komodo, which is okay, but 
it's made a little cumbersome by the fact that it can debug multiple 
languages. The deal breaker is that when it comes to debugging forms, 
one has to manually simulate inputs.


There is also NuSphere, and other Windows options, but I need something 
that will also work on Linux. NuSphere doesn't seem to have released for 
Linux yet, as I can't find anywhere to download it, despite having 
searched their site.


There's Xdebug, but it looks very raw and not ready for prime time.

Beyond that, I haven't found many, unless I'm mistook some editors for 
not being debuggers (Quanta, Bluefish...)


I only need to debug locally, and have Apache, MySQL, and PHP already 
running. I'm collaborating with someone who uses Windows, so something 
cross platform, Java based or whatever else, would be best.


Are there any recommendations?

I suspect the IDEs are tied into the web-server with --enable-debug...

You *could* set up your dev box to run your CLI scripts through the web
server, just for testing/debugging...

The PHP GTK guys might have some insight on this one -- They do all CLI
stuff with a butt-load of objects, so they must do *something* for those
nasty objects, right?

> Is there such a thing?  

Hi Christopher

Spoken as someone who actively uses PHP both in webpages, and for scripts on 
CLI, the only debugger I am aware of is Gubed (but that's only for PHP & 
Webbpages)

Personally, I use the following setup (pseudo code, I could give you the 
actuall source code, but this is better because it will actually enhance your 
knowledge)

This does not have breakpoints, but if you want them, you can write a function
function breakpoint($info)
{debug($info);
 die();}

After that if you want conditional breakpoints, use an assert like function

function assert($var,$value,$msg)
{if($var==$value)
  breakpoint($msg);
}


Do you see the light yet?

If you implement it properly, you don't even need to change your source code 
when debugging is done.


example flow:

Register_shutdownfunction("debug","dump");

then everywhere in the script, 

function dosomething($param)
{debug("domsomething($param)");
...
}

function debug()
{static $data='';
 get parameter list
 if first param="dump"
 {if preferences=dumtofile
   writetofile $data
  else
   writetoconsole $data
}
 else
  data[]=$parameters
}
}

Can you see the use of this?

Kind regards


Andy

Re: [PHP] debugger

There are some IDE's that support debugging or you can just use the parser.
It will tell you the problem and spit out a warning or error depending on
how you have your php.ini set up.

I usually have display_errors on so that I can use that as my debugger.
Then when I go on a live server I have it turned off and I have errors being
logged to a file.

create a development tool for PHP (QaDRAM Studio) and I want to be able 
to debug php code with it, my question here is: 

Why PHP 4 has no built-in debug features? This will simplify the setup 
for debugging php code and will allow php development tools provide 
debug support in a convenient way, instead force the user to change the 
php.ini file to support debug and to don't be able to debug every time 
the php version changes.

I have examined DBG and it's the one that fits my needs better, but 
there's not too much information on how to use it and what I have found 
is not complete. Also requires to load a 'listener' to be able to debug 
remotely. The Komodo solution looks nicer, but is propietary. Any help 
or comments?

Regards.

I´m not shure, but ZEND offers some kind of IDE and nusphere has an IDE
which has a debugger built in , but who needs this??
Use an editor with macro functionality so u can set a macro which makes
something like if($debug){ echo something}, then you can set one var
to turn debugging on/off.
Are you shure you need PHP for your problems? Seems that you´re lucky
with M$ and their ek$pen$ive environments.

[PHP] debugger

[Evan]

Hi to all!!!
Can anyone tell me how to debug in PHP?
When I use ASP simply I write "stop" (VB) or "debugger" (JSCRIPT) to set a
breakpoint and open the Microsoft Script Debugger.
With PHP I can't find a way to do a similar thing.
I downloaded the DBG PHP debugger but I don't understand how to use it like
MSD.
My config is:
PHP 4.1.2 + IIS5 + WinXPpro

I'm bored to use echo "$something" for debug :-(

Thanks in advance for your help,
Evan

I've read that several times... so does that mean now the only debugger
for PHP4 is the Zend one?

Re: [PHP] Debugger, Debugger and Debugger

[Chris Lee]

You must be viewing old documentation.

http://php.net/manual/en/debugger.php

clearly states that debugger, ie debugger_on() support is in php3 only, not
in php4.

Your not out of luck though, you could still use the Zend Debugger, the Zend
boys seem to be quite eager to improve its current quallity.

[PHP] Debugger, Debugger and Debugger

[Ricardo D'Aguiar]

Hi,

Problem:
I'm trying put to work the debugger in php4.0.4pl1(Red Hat Distribution), I
change my php.ini file to enable the debugger but when try to use in a simple
script I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: debugger_on() in
/var/www/html/php/dbg.php on line 2

Questions:
1º Do I need some sort of extension (something like  xxx.so) to activate the
debugger?

2º In php documentation (Chapter: Using the Debugger) says:
 Set up a TCP listener on that port somewhere (for example socket -l -s 1400
on UNIX).

 I don't have that "socket" command in Linux/Unix, what is this?
 What this means?

3º I need to debug my script what is the best way to do that?
 (I tried the "Zend IDE Test Drive" but after 30 days is not for free and
can't put to work the "The DBG PHP Debugger").

4º What is the difference between Zend debugger, Dmitri Dmitrienko PHP debugger
(seen link below) and the 'internal' PHP debugger?

Thanks, (Sorry for the bad english)



Additional Information:

PHP version: PHP Version 4.0.4pl1- Red Hat distribution
O.S. - Red Hat 7.0

Compiled options (PHP) extract from phpinfo():
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--disable-debug'
'--enable-pic' '--enable-shared' '--enable-inline-optimization'
'--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-regex=system'
'--with-gettext' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png' '--with-zlib'
'--with-db2' '--with-db3' '--with-gdbm' '--enable-debugger'
'--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sockets'
'--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-yp'
'--enable-ftp' '--enable-wddx' '--without-mysql' '--without-oracle'
'--without-oci8' '--with-xml'

Simple Script to test the debugger:


PHP.INI file (Revelant parts):
#Extension actived
extension=imap.so
extension=ldap.so
extension=pgsql.so
 
[Debugger]
debugger.host   =   localhost
debugger.port   =   7869
debugger.enabled=   true
