How do you debug PHP scripts? [closed]
Solution 1:
Try Eclipse PDT to setup an Eclipse environment that has debugging features like you mentioned. The ability to step into the code is a much better way to debug then the old method of var_dump and print at various points to see where your flow goes wrong. When all else fails though and all I have is SSH and vim I still var_dump()/die() to find where the code goes south.
Solution 2:
You can use Firephp an add-on to firebug to debug php in the same environment as javascript.
I also use Xdebug mentioned earlier for profiling php.
