Hi.

Just stumbled across PDT. Thanks guys! Nice work!

Look I just wanted to mention something obvious which you have probably
heard already. How about being able to inspect an object in the debugger?
ie. drill down into the properties of the object. Right now all you get in
the variables window in the debugger for an object is the object type.

I'm using xdebug with apache in windows.

Hm, no. At least in my installation in the variables- and the
expressions-view there is this little "+"-icon on the left side of the
variable-name (for objects, arrays and stuff like that). Clicking on it
expands it and shows object-properties / contents of the array.

HTH,
Mark

Thanks! You're right - I can inspect for example a HttpRequest. Strangely,
I'm not able to inspect any of the DOM* classes (DOMXPath, DOMDocument,
DOMNodeList).

the DOM classes are defined by an extension rather than PHP code, so propably don't define any PHP
Class properties. All access to internal data is through methods only.

I think you'll find this depends on which magic methods the extension
developer has implemented. If you get something interesting out of a
var_dump(), then you'll probably see something equivalent in the debugger.
