It's not part of the language, if that's what you're asking. Perl has a
built-in debugger with breakpoints, tracepoints, etc. but the only way
I've been able to debug php is through var_dump() statements placed in
piece of code.

I haven't looked much into NetBeans, but it's a development IDE for Java
that also supports php debugging. It may be your best solution.

http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/configure-php-environment-mac-os.html

Zend Studio IDE is $299. It also has the debugger you're looking for.
And an optimized server meant for a full LAMP Production environment.
