I watched the Creating a weblog in 15 minutes with Rails 2 and after 9 minutes in the video he shows ruby's interactive debugger, which allows you to call functions/methods from within a running script.

This goes way beyond breakpoints and looks very useful.

Is there something for PHP that gives similar functionality?

Install xdebug and then use one of the debug clients mentioned here.
