Welcome to the easyxdebug_refreshed wiki!

if you are interested in taking this addon over, please feel free to write me a line, since i will take a break from comupter around summer 2016.

for below firefox 29 versions please download version 0.6.2 from the version history

how it works: you get 2 icons in the url bar to set the following 2 debug cookies: $cookies[XDEBUG_SESSION]='netbeans-xdebug'; $cookies[XDEBUG_PROFILE]='1';

it works perfectly with eclipse (probably netbeans as well)

Tip: i recently started to set the XDEBUG_PROFILE cookie to something like 'fsdo_secret_password_o8355#oeo034lld' and check for it in my php files to enable error reporting on my live site only when this cookie is set.

version history:

• 0.9.4 e10 support + setcookie now in separate file (the recommended way)
• 0.7.0 ff 29 compatibility issues solved
• 0.6.2.1 cookies time out by default on browser close (accidentially removed)
• 0.5.1 redone the interior -> code simpler/more readable
• 0.4.1 on tab change / reload the icons now show if the cookies are set or not
• 0.4.0 you can set different cookie values/names/timeouts in the preferences ( addon manager->easy debug (with moveable icon)->preferences )

for it to get working you need to install xdebug and configure it do do remote debugging in eclipse/netbeans (if the steps at the bottom dont work for you try google with something like 'eclipse xdebug remote debugging')

when its working you can debug any php file you view in your browser on your localhost. The cookie (when set) tells xdebug to do the compiling and eclipse (when started) hooks into xdebug (send it the breakpoints you define) and gets the live data (and pauses the run of the script while you debug).. you can walk through the code line by line, jump to breakpoints and even manipulate the variables on the run.. they did a great job!

this extention just helps to make the process smoother..

on ubuntu to enable xdebug i only needed the following (no garantie it works for you):

install xdebug: sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug

edit /etc/php5/conf.d/xdebug.ini: zend_extension/usr/lib/php5/20090626/xdebug.so

xdebug.remote_enable1

xdebug.remote_handledbgp

xdebug.remote_hostlocalhost

xdebug.remote_port9000

#xdebug.profiler_enable1

xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger 1

xdebug.profiler_output_namexdebug_profile.%R-%u

xdebug.profiler_output_dir/home/barthy/sicheres_laufwerk/web/https/xdebug_profiler

configur eclipse:

File - New Project - PHP Project Name your project Choose Create project at existing location (from existing source) and browse to your Magento root folder (as used by xampp) Hit Finish and wait for the project to create

Set up xdebug as your debugger in eclipse Window - Preferences - PHP - Debug Change the PHP debugger to Xdebug Click configure Set Accept remote session (JIT) to localhost - OK Apply - OK

have fun!
