Oh crumbs I have a question to ask the Cache.

Anyone here know of a debugger/trace type of system that can interact with php on a lamp box so i can 'step' through the code and debug it while it is running?

Can this be done from the command line somehow?   

Crikey!

I think Zend has such a feature, but I've never used it and it's expensive. Other than that, I don't think so mate but will dearly love to be proved wrong...

Is there something specific you need to debug? I'm reasonably good at it, perhaps I can offer some tips to get you in the right direction...

Zend indeed does do it, and I make use of it extensively.

The FOSS alternative is Eclipse with phpEclipse. Google Eclipse (stellar IDE), install it for your particular OS, and then go to phpeclipse.net and read the setup instructions for the plugin.

It can control XAMP or just the LAMP components individually.

You like eclipse?

Does this allow you to step into/step over code through some sort of apache object? Is this only for command line or can you put a breakpoint in a piece of code that say for example processes form input and then go in and look at all the variables with for instance a watch feature?

Another question, can the one you are using debug code on a remote server as opposed to one running on the same machine as the IDE.

Thanks,
Penfold.

No it's not available only from the command line, yes to all the rest (I think)...

You should download it and check it out man, it's FOSS. The most you'll be out is an hour of your time dinking around with it...
