[conspire] Any PHP-debugging experts?

[Waishan Lau]

Just to clarify, I'm looking for help on setting up an IDE to step through 
the code.  Possibly with Eclipse but definitely willing to use another IDE.  
I'm not asking for help on the PHP code itself.

Thanks.

Subject: Question about the installfest

Hi.  I'm new to Linux.  I have a machine with Ubuntu 7.04, Apache, MySQL,
and PHP installed.  I'm trying to learn how to debug PHP with an IDE by
stepping through the code.  I'm able to do this when the PHP is a single
file but am having trouble when it's more complicated (code is in several
files).  I've tried several IDE's (eclipse, zend, ...) and have looked
online but I'm just not getting it.

Is this something I can get help on at the installfest?

Thanks.
waishan

It's possible, but I wouldn't really count on it.

The people at the installfest tend to be really good about helping
people with distribution installers, dealing with common applications,
and solving sometimes bewildering hardware-support problems.  However,
specialised PHP expertise may be rare.

Nonetheless, you're more than welcome to come, and see if someone has
the time and relevant background to help you.  The worst that would
happen is you would have a pleasant social evening, and some dinner.

I'm personally not your guy for that:  I'm not an experienced PHP
user.  Moreover, as co-head of household of the 1105 Altschul Ave. house
where CABAL meets, and host of the meetings, I'm highly interruptable
throughout the evening, and can seldom concentrate on anyone's technical
problem for more than a couple of minutes.

Perhaps I'll see you there.
