Newbie - installation questions

Post by johnain »

Hi all

Yes ... I am new. So expect daft questions please

I have used Xampp for years and decided to get a decent IDE. This looks the business. But on doing an install it seems I have to also install Apache, PHP (done that, it's in the setup routine), and a debugger. Is that correct? And if so is there a recommended debugger?

Ok all. Found the PHP and Apache bits by running the Hello World file. A bit obscure but never mind.

However, that leaves the question of the debugger. Can anyone help with that please? I'm uncertain because there is a debugger panel and I cannot find anything to tell me what, if anything, it is expecting.

John.

Click menu View -> Debug Tools for debug panel. Right click menu -> Run and Debug for debug toolbar.
You can click the gutter next to the code line to toggle a breakpoint.
