Anyone do step-by-step PHP debugging on a Mac with Textmate & local test server (Not MAMP/XAMPP)?

Question

Hey all,

What do you all use?

I'm getting sick of vardumping everything, I just wrote this massive function that isn't quite working correctly. I would love to be able to step-through the php code. I heard macgdbp was pretty good, but it seems like its iffy unless you use MAMP.

This is for mac users who develop with Textmate and took the time to install & compile PHP/MySQL without the assistance of a web server package. What do you use to debug PHP? I was checking out FirePHP but I don't think it has step-by-step debugging of PHP.

THanks! Matt Mueller

Answer 1

Xdebug and MacGDBp should do the trick

(Disclaimer: I've used Xdebug and like it, but I've never used that particular client)
