PHP debugger?
« on: March 01, 2009, 02:33:57 AM »
I remember way back when I dabbled with Pascal, there was a debugger that would step thru the file code that allowed variable watches and results for each step. Is there anything like that for PHP?

I usually load up the code with echos or prints for variables and then comment them out when I'm done.

Yeah, I heavily rely on the echo/print thing myself but that stepper and breakpoint usage was always nice to have. That link to 'filetransit' looks good, Bushman - thanks.

I haven't really had a need for it as I'm just a real basic PHP dabbler but I remember w/ Pascal, while I was running the stepper, I would "see" other ideas to work out or into the code. Very Zen-like... :-P
