Xdebug debugging PHP applications WebElement event #2, 08.12.2011 Vladimír Kriška,
@ujovlado
“I Don't Need A Debugger” • Chuck Norris doesn't •
for everyone else is Xdebug These functions are insufficient: • echo • print_r() • var_dump() … or your's framework built-in functions And you probably use them with <pre> tag.
Xdebug • Open Source debugging tool https://github.com/derickr/xdebug • Easy to
configure • Easy to use • Works on every platform • Nice, colored output
Initial configuration • html_errors = On • zend_extension=/path/to/xdebug.so e.g.: /usr/lib/php5/20090626/xdebug.so
Let's start How much to show: • xdebug.var_display_max_children (128) •
xdebug.var_display_max_data (512) • xdebug.var_display_max_depth (3) Xdebug overloads var_dump() by default.
Example code
Output
Stack trace - code
Stack trace - output
Function trace - code
Function trace - output file
Code coverage Detect which lines of script was executed. Three
functions: • xdebug_start_code_coverage() • xdebug_stop_code_coverage() • xdebug_get_code_coverage()
Code coverage - code
Code coverage - output
Tracefile analyser Set xdebug.trace_format=1 tracefile-analyser.php tracefile.xt [sortkey] [elements] Available sortkeys:
• calls • time-inclusive • memory-inclusive • time-own • memory-own
None
Profiling Set: xdebug.profiler_enable=1 xdebug.profiler_output_dir=/var/www/xdebug/tmp Generates cachegrind file. Tools: • KCachegrind
• Webgrind
Debugging xdebug.remote_enable=1 xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp xdebug.remote_mode=req xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 xdebug.remote_port=9000
“Scream” mode xdebug.scream=1 Set this to disable the “@” operator.
All errors, warnings and notices will be visible.
Some new features in 2.2 xdebug.cli_color - colored output in
CLI mode xdebug.coverage_enable - if you turn this off, it speeds up Xdebug, but coverage analysis won't work

Thank you! Any questions?
