Forms of debugging/variable tracking

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On my windows7 64 bit machines, am generally working using XAMPP, etc., and
now while still trying to disentangle other people's old code, am trying
to, possibly look into forms of debugging/variable watching while working
through large portions of code, etc. etc.

Anyway, found referral to/mention of xDebug, and entries in php.ini file
relating to it, but, not really sure how/if it's meant to offer any forms
of real-time debugging help, etc. etc.?

Now, know/understand that primary issue might be that things like
breakpoints/code execution pauses, etc., might not be simplest, and what
have done thus far is simply put together my own couple of functions to
include in various locations, to then just dump things like variable
contents/values into .txt files, to sort of scan through any changes,
etc., but, was wondering what other suggestions/thoughts guys might have
relating to what might be feasible?

And, also seemed like eclipse PHP tweaked version might try cooperate with
xDebug, or something but am firstly not sure if have implemented xDebug's
correct implementation within XAMPP, and, secondly, I have never been
comfortable/done much with eclipse - any version, but anyway..?

TIA
