Xdebug和Zend框架的交互式调试和断点

Question

I'm trying to get interactive debugging working with a Zend Framework application and Xdebug, using MacGDPp as the client debugger. I'm running to some problems setting breakpoints and was hoping

1. Someone could solve my specific problem

2. Someone could give me a high level overview of how this is supposed to work so I can track down the problem myself

MacGDPp has an option to start the debugger immediately whenever a request is made. This works. I load a page of the Zend Application and execution stops at the first line of the Zend index.php file.

However, if I attempt to set a break point in MacGDPp either a Controller or phtml template file, execution does NOT halt at those breakpoints.

Outside of Zend, if I setup a simple page with a single require, I can sucsefully set break points in the required file.

File: test.php
<?php
    echo "One <br>";
    echo "Two <br>";
    echo "Three <br>";
    echo "Four <br>";
    echo "Five <br>";
    echo "Six <br>";
    echo "Seven <br>";
    echo "Eight <br>";
    echo "Nine <br>";
    echo "Ten <br>";

    require_once('test2.php');  

File: test2.php
<?php       
    echo "Eight <br>";
    echo "Five <br>";
    echo "Four <br>";
    echo "Nine <br>";
    echo "One <br>";
    echo "Seven <br>";
    echo "Six <br>";
    echo "Ten <br>";
    echo "Three <br>";
    echo "Two <br>";    

So, I'm a bit at a loss on how to proceed. I don't know if my client is setting breakpoints wrong, or if there's something about Zend's autoloadng/instantiation patterns that prevents any interactive debugger from knowing how to hookup a files I select from the filesystem with a "remote" (localhost) URL I've executed.

If anyone has a solution and/or some pointers on how remote PHP debuggers work I'd appreciate it.

Answer 1

Holy crap - I was pulling my hair out - XAMPP 1.7.1 (php 5.2.9) with notepad++ and Xdebug was not stopping at breakpoints (only at the xdebug_break() lines). This was because the dumb debugger won't break if you place your breakpoint on a blank line! Man, I wish it said that somewhere in the manual. Oh yeah, I forgot; there is no manual...

Answer 2

原来我在空白行上设置了断点，而MacGDPp跳过了这些断点。
