How do you debug PHP scripts?
How do you debug your PHP script? I am aware of basic debugging such as using the Error Reporting. The breakpoint debugging in PHPEclipse is also quite useful. Any other good/better techniques out there?...

Heap corruption under Win32; how to locate?
I'm working on a multithreaded C++ application that is corrupting the heap. The usual tools to locate this corruption seem to be inapplicable. Old builds (18 months old) of the source code exhibit the same behaviour as the most recent release, so this has been around for a long time and just wasn't noticed; on the downside, source delt...
Visual Studio 2008 debugger already attached work-around
I get the following error pretty regularly when compiling in Visual Studio and running my web application: "Unable to start debugging on the web server. The web server did not respond in a timely manner. This may be because another debugger is already attached to the web server." Normally this is after having debug the application onc...
Best Debugging Tools for JavaScript/xulrunner Development
In the past few months I began my first serious JavaScript development, as I began developing XUL applications. I use Notepad++ as my editor, but I was pretty appalled to find (as far as I can tell) that Venkman/Javascript Debugger is the tool for debugging. It seems like a poor replacement to Visual Studio for .Net languages. Am I mi...
Debugging: IE6 + SSL + AJAX + post form = 404 error
The Setting: The program in question tries to post form data via an AJAX call to a target procedure contained in the same package as the caller. This is done for a site that uses a secure connection (https). The technology used here is PLSQL and the DOJO JavaScript library. The development tool is basically a text editor. Code Snippet: ...
I can't get my debugger to stop breaking on first-chance exceptions
I'm using Visual C++ 2003 to debug a program remotely via TCP/IP. I had set the Win32 exception c00000005, "Access violation," to break into the debugger when thrown. Then, I set it back to "Use parent setting." The setting for the parent, Win32 Exceptions, is to continue when the exception is thrown. Now, when I debug the program, it ...
Firebug for IE
Trying to fix JavaScript bugs is huge pain as is determining the styles applied to an element. Firebug makes these issues a lot easier when working on Firefox, but what do you do when the code works fine on Firefox but IE is complaining? ...
How do I debug Javascript in Visual Studio 2005?
I just saw this mentioned in this thread and didn't know it could be done. I'm a VS newbie, so how do you do it? Is there a separate debugger for Javascript? I know how to work the one for code-behind pages... I usually use Firebug to deal with debugging JS. EDIT: I'm using VS 2005. ...
MSVC6: Breakpoint stops program - WTF?
Using Microsoft Visual Studio 98, Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 SP6 When running under the debugger, there's only one problem. If I pause the program and resume, everything's fine. The problem? When I hit a breakpoint, my program stops. But not in a good way; execution halts, I'm thrown out of debug mode into edit mode. All's fine until...
IL level code debugger
Hi, Is there any IL level debugger in form of a VS plugin or standalone application? Visual studio’s debugger is great, but it allows you to debug on either HLL code level or asselbly language, you can’t debug IL. It seems that in some situations it would be useful to have an opportunity to debug at IL level. In particular it might b...
In Visual Studio you must be a member of Debug Users or Administrators to start debugging. What if you are but it doesn't work?
On my Windows XP machine Visual Studio 2003 2005 and 2008 all complain that I cannot start debugging my web application because I must either be a member of the Debug Users group or of the Administrators group. So, I am an Administrator and I added Debug Users just in case, and it still complains. Short of reformatting my machine and st...
Getting the subversion repository number into code...
I'd like to implement a way of recording the version of a project within code, so that it can be used when testing and to help track bugs. It seems the best version number to use would just be the current revision number from Subversion. Is there an easy way to hook this number into a (C++ in my case) header file or something, which I c...
How do you configure VS2008 to only open one webserver in a solution with multiple projects?
Starting with 2005, VS started this behavior of when starting debugging session it spawns up a webserver for every project in a solution. I have a solution with 15 projects so it takes a while and is a waste of resources. Is there a way to configure it differently besides just using IIS? ...
Standalone tools for debugging stored procedures
I was looking for a good free debugger for STP (Stored Procedures) as I need to make changes to a few of them as a part of my recent project. The stored procedures are stored in independent '.sql' files and not in the code. A debugger would speed things up quite a it in my case. Could anyone recommend any tools that can be used for this...

I like a bit of TiVo hacking in spare time - TiVo uses a Linux variant and TCL. I'd like to write TCL scripts on my Windows laptop, test them and then FTP them over to my TiVo. Can I have a recommendation for a TCL debugging environment for Windows, please? ...
Debugging asp.net with firefox and visual studio.net - very slow compared to IE
Debugging asp.net websites/web projects in visual studio.net 2005 with Firefox is loads slower than using IE.

Remote Debugging PHP Command Line Scripts with Zend?
I'm using Zend Studio to do remote debugging of my php scripts on a dev server. It works great for web code, but can I make it work with command line scripts? I have several helper apps to make my application run. It would be really useful to fire up the remote debugger through command line instead of a web browser so I can test these o...
How do I change the locations of source files in a symbols file (pdb)
Basically what I want to do it this: a pdb file contains a location of source files (e.g. C:\dev\proj1\helloworld.cs). Is it possible to modify that pdb file so that it contains a different location (e.g. \more\differenter\location\proj1\helloworld.cs)? ...
.NET Compiler -- DEBUG vs. RELEASE
For years I have been using the DEBUG compiler constant in VB.NET to write messages to the console. I've also been using System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write in similar fashion. It was always my understanding that when RELEASE was used as the build option, that all of these statements were left out by the compiler, freeing your production co...

I don't want to debug directly since it is really crappy machine. When I try to attach wiht debugger I get message "The trust relationship between this ...
