Debugger needed to run a script? [message #36266]

When I choose Run As... > PHP Script, Eclipse complains about the
debugger not being correctly configured in php.ini

Do I really need a debugger in order to run (as opposed to debug) a
simple PHP script?

Thanks,
Daniel Serodio

You'll need a PHP executable. One that should work comes with the
installation of the Zend debugger plugin (get it at zend.com/pdt) . With
this you can debug PHP scripts locally.

If you then also want to debug on a remote server, you'll need an
additional dll / .so file in the server directories, as well as setting
it up.

Thanks for your reply.

I already have a PHP executable (installed by XAMPP), and I've created
an entry in "PHP Executables" Eclipse preferences pointing to this
directory (C:\xampp\php).

I think it goes into more detailed questions, (also that it iterests me
and I'm new in PDT).

Which executeable will be used when I'm going to run or debug a script,
not a web page?
What parameters are passed?
Is it needed to have / use different php.inis for that (like php-cli.ini)?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Regrds,
Patrick

I think I can answer this one.

It's the php.exe under the directory selected in Window > Preferences >
PHP > PHP Executables
The only parameter passed (according to Process Explorer) is "-c
/full/path/to/script.php"

HTH,
