If you don't see any change in phpinfo then maybe it's not picking up the dbg extension in your php.ini. Presumably you've also put the other debugger directives in your ini? You can also try download the trial version of PHPEd from Nusphere, install that, and check how it configures the debugger. The trial lasts a month I think, so maybe you'll sort out your problems in that time anyway. Just be sure to completely uninstall it afterwards because I think the free dbg version is not the same as the version integrated in PHPEd. Any version differences cause the extension to not load, though in that case it should report an error. You can't use the dbg integrated in PHPEd after uninstall because it doesn't work without PHPEd.

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" does not appear. PHP is compiled without debugging, but I did consider that was for the purpose of debugging PHP itself, not scripts. Suggestions will be most welcome. Also, I'm not married to this, so if anyone thinks there is a better debugger, please jump in. Regards - Miles Thompson PS Why are we doing this? Because we are getting tired of debugging with Javascript alert() boxes. /mt PPS And we are using those because of Joomla! Some things are buried so deeply we cannot use print() or echo(). /mt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
