Using a debugger with PHP [message #170842] Wed, 01 December 2010 17:59 Go to next message

Have anyone successfully installed the PHP debugger APD with PHP 5.3?
When I try to install APD with the command `sudo pecl install apd' I get
the following error message:

/build/buildd/php5-5.3.2/pear-build-download/apd-1.0.1/php_apd.c:967:
error: ‘struct _zend_compiler_globals’ has no member named ‘extended_info’

Any ideas? Is there any other debugger I should try instead? I'm using
Ubuntu 10.04 by the way.


Regards,

August

XDebug[0] tends to be the standard answer for people needing interactive
debugging. There's a list of frontends that can connect to it in the
XDebug manual[1], and Ubuntu has a php5-xdebug package you can install
without needing to compile, if you're using their pre-packaged PHP.

Thanks for the tip. I have installed and configured Xdebug but
apparently the command line client debugclient is not included in the
package php5-xdebug (it is also said to be obsolete). The Firefox plugin
"easy Xdebug" is also designed to be used with Netbeans which I don't
use. Do you know if there is any other freestanding client? Or can I use
Xdebug with GDB?
