Debugging a PHP Script in it's own directory [message #628403]

Hello!

I have a problem with a PHP script which is part of a larger project.
The script runs fine when I enter the scripts directory in the console (Windows cmd shell) and start it with

php -f script.php

If I use the eclipse debugger to run the script (to use XDebug) several classes are suddenly not included properly. This is very strange since the script starts with

chdir(realpath(dirname(__FILE__)));

Is there a way to tell eclipse to start the script from a certain directory?

Hoping for help

Ok, I solved the problem by other means. But I'm still curious whether it is possible to start a file from a certain directory.

I'm not sure but try this;
Open your Run/Debug Configuration of the script
Select "Environment" tab
Click "New" and enter
Variable: XDEBUG_WORKING_DIR
Value: {full path you need}

Sorry if I misunderstood Smile

Thanks for the answer. Don't know whether this will do the job... I will test it some day.

Thanks again!
