xdebug - dont let me handle user interaction [message #1709138]

i have the following problem:

i'd like to debug user-interaction. therefor i made two simple test-scripts. the first one contains a little form. the second one is getting the data via GET and displays the data.

when i start the debugging-session as php-web-application - a browser window opens - but the browser-window and the url-line is empty (but there is the right url in the browser -tab).

if i ,for example, debug some function - everything works fine.

maybe someone can help me....

I'm not sure what is your problem?

1. Additional empty tab?
2. Not working web debugging?

thx for answer!

the problem is that the web-debugging is not working.

when i start the debugging-session -> the browser-window looks like this (jpeg 1).

when i end the session manually or reach the breakpoint - the browser shows the followig (jpeg 2)

i hope this will make my problem more tangible

It looks like it is working. Have you tried stepping through the code or simply pressing the Run button?

You probably have checked "break at first line" at debug launch configuration.

thx for any suggestions ....

yes indeed - i have checked "break at first line". now i have changed this setting - but the problem still occurs

and yes, i can step through code. but this is not very effective, because the variables ($_GET , $_POST ...) are empty.

in my opinion it should work like this: when i start the debugging-session -> the browser window displaying the form -> i type in the values and klick on send.....

but in my case, the browser window ist empty - so it's not possible to set this variables

$_GET and $_POST aren't empty if you send something and you are during debug.

If internal browser cannot render your website ('m not sure why, maybe have you something in logs?). As an workaround can you try with external browser? : Preferences / General / Use external web browser

Next:
1. Run debug (browser will be opened).
2. Add breakpoint.
3. Submit form in browser

thank u for supporting me!

i followed your instructions - now, i think i'm one step further

1. run the debug -> the browser (firefox) starts -> with the correct url (i think) - //localhost/test/index.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=ECLIPSE_DBGP&KEY=14431153524257
(the site is loading, but nothing happens in the browser window - "waiting for localhost"

2. when i end the debug-session - the browser shows this link: //localhost/test/index.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_STOP_NO_EXEC=ECLIPSE_DBGP&KEY=14431153524257

if i just run the application (without debugging) -> the browser shows the site as expected!

any idea what's wrong? i'd really like to see the form in the browser window...

Based on your description, debugging already running.

You have "break on first line" enabled so debugger stuck on first line after each request. Disable it in launch configuration or remember about F8 (resume button in debug perspective) on each request.

You can also in debugger settings (php / debugger /debuggers /xdebug), enable JIT (accept remote session) for localhost + optionally multisession. Later use browser extension for stop/start debugger (for example firefox the easiest xdebug: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/the-easiest-xdebug/)
