Re: [PHP] phpeclipse debugging setup
I also fiddled with eclipse for a bit, but couldn't make it debug. I really like nusphere php-ed. Debugging works great - local or remote to your web server. Not free, but worth it.

Any suggestions, explanations, instructions, sources of information would be appreciated. PJ I used to use phpeclipse. I dumped it for PDT though. I never could get the debugging to work with phpeclipse. PDT for Eclipse debugging features work with xdebug the zend debugger. Give it a look. Thanks for the suggestion. I installed the PDT plusgin and still have issues with debugging: Using the PHP DBG script I get the Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: What do I have to do to install the PHP Browser? Try as I may, I do not understand what has to be done to correctly configure xdebug. According to some setup instructions I recall, phpinfo() should show 2 different sections for the xdebug and zend xdebug properties. When xdebug seems to be set up, I see a reference at the botom of the PHP information table that Xdebug v.2.1.0-dev is being used and there is an xdebug section on the displayed page. In Eclipse, under the Run/Open Debug Dialog options I see two entries - PHP DBG Script and X PHP XDebug Script. So, what is phpeclipse using? I still see nothing regarding PHP Web Developing in the Preferences window. :( How do I view the contents of variables? And when I run the debugger, I see that it interprets commented out code and ignores errors for functions like pg_exec() and pg_errormessage().. I would say that either there are some pretty weird requirements(unknown) to make php developing and debugging or I am not understanding something here - like, are there issues with different versions of the various modules, or what? This is really frustrating and sadly non-productive. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
