XDebug breakpoints and Control Structures [message #58539]

This may be a silly question. Should XDebug break at breakpoints set on a
line with an 'elseif' Control Structure?

Such as:

<?php
if ($a > $b) {
echo "a is bigger than b";
(**break**) } elseif ($a == $b) {
echo "a is equal to b";
(**break**) } else {
echo "a is smaller than b";
}
?>

XDebug will stop on the 'if' but skips the 'elseif' and 'else' lines? Is
there some sort of Control Structure depth setting for XDebug?

Thanks,
Derek Basch

no, xdebug doesn't stop on elseif and elses. Not sure why this is, but it could be due to the way
that php compiles conditional statements and interprets them.

It might be worth going over the http://www.xdebug.org and posting a message on the
mailing list. Derick may be able to give a definitive answer about why the behaviour
is like it is.
