Wish to watch where variable changes value in PHP [message #1713309]

I was pleased by existence of possibility to break/pause debugging wherever certain variable changes its value (as described at https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/1297083/?srch=watchpoint#msg_1297083 )

But as far as i know, this is not available in Eclipse PDT. It would be really productivity boost, to be able to debug unknown project (like WordPress) by auto-beakpoint wherever certain variable is modified.

Please, is there any way how to debug this way? Could be? Will be?

Configuration:
* Eclipse for PHP Developers, Version: Mars Release (4.5.0), Build id: 0150621-1200
* Xdebug v2.2.3
* Kubuntu 14.04
* Apache/2.4.7
* Zend OPcache v7.0.3
* Lenovo notebook

The PHP tools has its own dedicated forum. Moving this to there.

Dawid, conditional breakpoint is about not stopping breakpoint sometimes.

I am looking for functionality equal to placing breakpoints on every single line of all projects scripts and setting its condition to "variable $x changed its value".

See http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Fcdt_t_add_watch.htm

Ohh, sorry. I'm not sure if it's possible in xdebug/zend debugger.

Can you open enhancement request on PDT bugzilla? https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=PDT
