The title pretty much says it all...is it a bad idea ? I'd like to have the enhanced debug messages that XDebug provides on the server.
[edit] Just to make things clear. I'm aware there are security risks involved. Perhaps I should complement my question and give more precise reasons why I would want to do this.
Our production server hosts a testing platform also. Sometimes we use it to test things on a environment as close to production as possible. The main thing I'm looking for is using XDebug's enhanced var_dump()
.
This is not an app server for high traffic apps and performance is not that big of an issue. I was just curious if performance would be noticeably impacted by XDebug.
Besides, I guess I could enable it only for the VirtualHost that defines the testing sites.
