Debugging 2 servers with php's Xdebug at the same time.

Question

I have a PHP script that is sending a series of http requests to another php script on another server. I have Xdebug installed on both servers and I'm using NetBeans as my debug client. The problem I am having is that NetBeans can't have 2 debug sessions at the same time and you can't spawn 2 NetBeans processes on the same machine. Am I going to have to run Eclipse and NetBeans at the same time?(YUCK!) Or is there a better way?

Answer 1

I would get another machine, install Netbeans on it, and connect each server to its own debugger. This will help you understand what's happening much better.

Alternate approach: install a virtual machine inside your box, put Netbeans there.
