Zen php debugger [message #981851]

I have been playing with this for two days. Installed Eclipse Classic. Installed Pdt and Zend debugger ( at least Eclipse recognizes Zend). But when I try to debug a php script I get an error about running the debugger as a php.ini directive. The precise error is:

"Error launching xxx.php. The debug session could not be started. Please make sure that the debugger is properly configured as a php.ini directive."

I have no idea what that means or how to fix it.

Any help appreciated

John

Well, I sorta fixed the problem. I just changed from ZEND to xdebug. That seems to be working OK, except I can't get it to observer the break points.

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that eclipse is more trouble than its worth. There seems to be limited documentation that I have been able to find on PHP ide, and even less on problems that arise. I used eclipse years ago and it worked great right out of the box. What happened?

Now I can't get eclipse php to run mysql_connect(). It runs fine from the cli, but not from a cli within eclipse. Just seems a lot of work just to run an ide??

PDT ignores additional ini files. It's a super faq.
If you had checked phpinfo, you could see it.
>Scan this dir for additional .ini files => (none)
>Additional .ini files parsed => (none)

This notorious bug has been fixed recently.

Future version won't have this problem, maybe.
