install issues [message #1828486] Wed, 10 June 2020 10:48 Go to next message

Hi all;

hopefully this will help someone. I had a lot of agony getting started with Eclipse PDT but the solution was simple. Actually it was PHPStorm's documentation who gave me the hint.

xDebug was working as a CLI application, but as a web-application it only /seemed/ to work. It didn't break on any breakpoint though, so it was pretty useless. However phpinfo() told me xDebug was working so I was blaming eclipse.

All problems vanished when I followed the instructions from xdebug wizard on its website, as suggested by PHPstorm. So perhaps it is possible to add the link to the xdebug-wizard in the eclipse install instructions or help file or setup screen or wherever it might help someone.
(I'd give the link here, but I'm not allowed as a new user)

Best regards
Chris

Although xDebug's command-line interface version worked, its web-based counterpart just "appeared" to. However, it did not falter in the typical ways, making it mostly ineffectual. The phpinfo() function, however, showed that xDebug was really turned on, thus I could no longer place the blame on Eclipse.

Using the online xdebug wizard as suggested by PHPstorm, I was able to solve my problems. Including a connection to the xdebug-wizard in Eclipse's help, setup, or documentation would be possible. (Since I am a new member, I am unable to provide the URL.)
