Re: [TxMt] PHP and debugging, what is your strategy?

Is there other ways to use the debugger outside of ZDE that makes it possible to have a debugger on the side?

You can use Xdebug[1], it has at least a command-line client, though it would require entering the commands manually. I have an xdebug plug- in for TextMate but it is unfinished, and with TM 2 in the pipeline (with a public API for stuff like this) I most likely won’t be working on it until TM2 release.

Personally I tend to use echo/var_dump/die/debug_print_backtrace for debugging. Having xdebug installed is very handy even if you don’t use the debugger as it gives nice backtraces.
