Changing $_SERVER values on the fly. [message #768560]

I'm creating a website app using PDT and xdebug with a virtual host set up for the development.
I'm pulling info. from the $_SERVER global.

In the Variables tab I see $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is set '127.0.0.1' due to my set-up.

I'd like to change this on the fly to simulate real-world IP hits for testing. I can change it programatically by adding code to my source but that defeats the purpose; I'm trying to use the Change Value... right click option. When I do that I get the message:

"An exception occurred attempting to change the variable value.
Reason:
Program under debug rejected value change."

Is it possible? Please help.

It is impossible because of a bug of pdt.

Try logging for xdebug. (xdebug.remote_log=<filename> in php.ini)
You may get something like this,
Quote:

<- property_set -i 12 -t string -n $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] -d -1 -l 16 -- MTI3LjAuMC4xMjg=->
<response xmlns="urn:debugger_protocol_v1" xmlns:xdebug="http://xdebug.org/dbgp/xdebug"
command="property_set" transaction_id="12" status="break" reason="ok">
<error code="301"><message><![CDATA[stack depth invalid]]></message></error>
</response>

"stack depth invalid" means the argument with "-d" (-1) is incorrect. This is a bug of pdt.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go and see what I get.

I've read around that PDT isn't getting much development attention. I don't suppose its worth raising a bug report, you reckon?

Hi Toshihiro,

I put this in php.ini:

[xdebug]
xdebug.remote_log=/opt/local/apache2/logs/xdebug_log

I created the file using:

> sudo touch debug_log

I stopped and started the web server and restarted Eclipse, then ran my script under PDT.

Result: no output to the log file.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

/opt/local/apache2/logs folder may not have permission against xdebug.
Try /tmp (or such) folder.

This is my output.
It looks very similar to what you said:

<- property_set -i 70 -t string -n $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] -d -1 -l 16 -- NjkuMTIyLjAuMQ==->
<response xmlns="urn:debugger_protocol_v1" xmlns:xdebug="http://xdebug.org/dbgp/xdebug"
command="property_set" transaction_id="70" status="break" reason="ok">
<error code="301"><message><![CDATA[stack depth invalid]]></message></error>
</response>

I assume bugs #358928, #33057 and #202439 all deal with the same issue so I'll not raise another.

As for bug#202439, it is an issue of the Expressions View.
As for bug#358928, it is JSDT, not PDT.
No relations to the issue of this thread.

Your new bug report will be appreciated, maybe. But don't expect it will be resolved someday. (I don't mean pdt isn't getting much development attention. It is actively developed.)

BTW, I don't recommend but there is an unofficial patch for pdt 3.0.0 only.
http://sourceforge.jp/users/atlanto/pf/eclipse/files/?id=435
(pdt_tools.feature_patch.pdt.3.0.0.v20111225.zip)
It solves the issue of this thread.
See also pdt_tools.feature_patch.pdt.html, though it is Japanese.
