Remote Debugging

Post by llbbl »

I did a search and couldn't find any other postings about it, so I thought I would make an official request to implement Remote PHP debugging in Rapid PHP and WeBuilder.

I know it won't be included in the next version, but it is something I would like to see in the future.

Running a local windows testing server for debugging is not always feasible. This feature is available in the competitors products and I would like to see it included here.

Thanks!

I have been using Eclipse for remote debugging, but it is a hassle to work with on a regular basis, so I use Rapid PHP for normal tasks.

how about this post? http://forums.blumentals.net/viewtopic.php?t=2798
I've given up on using Blumentals debugger, it just has way too many issues, such as dying right in the middle of a debug session...

and not being able to talk to a web server on another computer but only on the local computer (file path issue). and not being able to debug multiple sessions at the same time (client server app with client and server talking to each other) and not being able to debug a CLI program except by pretending it's a web page, which is clumsy and sometimes does not work.

and in response: http://forums.blumentals.net/viewtopic.php?t=2967
What big updates are planned for version 2008 later this year:

* Big: PHP debugger call stack, context, watches, evaluate
* Big: Allow to debug PHP POST submissions

Although we really tried (we are 2 people currently working on this project), there was not enough time to implement all of your suggestions, so many are still in the list and we will try to add new features gradually during this year.

If we have missed something that is *extremely* important to you and many other users, please let me know, probably we can give it a priority and add that in one of updates.
--------------------

Frankly I am very impressed that this is a two man project. It is a great Editor! I look forward to the day when the debugger becomes fully usable.

What I am looking for is integration with Xdebug not their own debugger. ;)

I too am impressed about what they have. I know they said that it wouldn't be included in the next version. I just want to see it in the future.

It is not a deal breaker for me because I can use other free tools as a replacement, but it is at the top of the list of features to have.
