When I first hit debug it shows my command line arguments:

index.php/fa/31418/0/

And after I step into a function it just goes blank:

index.php/fa/31419/0/

I just want to track a global variable.
Can someone please help.

As far as I know this is normal behavior.
There was some discussion about this at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=219040

To examine or watch global variables, you can enter them into the Expressions View.
Window --> Show View --> Expressions

If necessary use the "::" scope operator but only in C++.

Multiple errors reported.

1) Failed to execute MI command:
-var-create - * token
Error message from debugger back end:
-var-create: unable to create variable object

2) Unable to create variable object

3) Failed to execute MI command:
-data-evaluate-expression token
Error message from debugger back end:
No symbol "token" in current context.

4) Failed to execute MI command:
-var-create - * token
Error message from debugger back end:
-var-create: unable to create variable object

I get that when I try to use the Expressions tab.
token is a global string that I want to watch.
I have tried Expressions and a watch point. I cannot get anything to work.
