Debugging in PHP
- Published December 14th, 2005 in Free Software, PHP, Eclipse
Yet another great article from IBM engineers covering how to debug PHP applications. That has been one of my greatest troubles with PHP. By default, PHP ommits errors like non declared variables and such. By this reason, sometimes you’re not debugging your programming’s logic but rather basic errors that shouldn’t be let through parsing.
The article makes heavy use of Eclipse in order to debug. The same could be achieved with other proprietary development suites, like Zend PHP Studio, but this comes to prove how a Free/Open Source piece of software can be as powerful as any other piece of proprietary stuff.
That’s what I use :) , gotta love Eclipse ;)
