debugging using xdebug and cakephp in eclipse PDT

Question

Hi

I'm working on one web application. I wanted to provide interactive debugging to my web application, so i have installed xdebug on my machine( windows ) successfully. Done with all the configuration settings in php.ini file. I am able to debug normal php scripts except cakephp project.

I hv used cakephp and eclipse IDE for development. I stuck @ one point that, for debugging in Eclipse using xdebug. I dont know how to set debug configuration in eclipse for cakephp specific.

Is there any other configuration settings needed in eclipse for debugging cakephp application using xdebug.

I gone though below url saying that need to delete .htaccess file in cakeProject\app\webroot and use another file which are under cakeProject\app.

http://cakephp.19694.n2.nabble.com/How-to-debug-with-ZendDebugger-XDebug-using-Eclipse-PDT-Netbeans-td1477152.html

Please folks suggest me if u hv any better ideas

Thanks

Give this tutorial a try. It's using the Zend debugger not Xdebug but that really doesn't matter.
