11 years ago The spike-debugging branch enables Xdebug via the PHP cli webserver.
To use it you must have a DBGp client like:
- Netbeans
- MacDGBp
- (XDebugClient](https://code.google.com/p/xdebugclient/)
Its worth noting that MacDGBp doesn't need to be able to access the source files to show stepping through the executing source code - i.e, the DGBp protocol clearly transmits the source code being executed.
Potentially cooler would be to have a browser based debugger that leverages the remote debugging capabilities of Webkit - see this video for an example
- ti-debug - might do this, but doesn't work with the current node version (v0.10).
Implementing the DGBP protocol looks fairly simple, as the source from XDebugClient shows
Once you have your app running in the VM under HipHop, how can you attach a debugger (like Netbeans or MacGDBP ) to it?
