When I click the PHP URL or submit the Form,I want the script will run at debug mode,How to do this?
I can debug the script at the IDE,but the URL GET or POST Data will be lost at the IDE.
Is there anything like perl ptkdb, at perl mode,when I put "/usr/bin/perl -d:ptkdb " at first line , when the script is request anywhere,the debug window will jump out. But at PHP dbg this will be when some error taken!
Could everyone tell me how to deal ? Thanks very much!

there are few ways to run debug session with a script being executed as a result of POST or GET request.

1.
you can add debug session request to the form where you run POST or GET.
For example
<form ....>
<input type=hidden name=DBGSESSID value="1@clienthost:7869">
...
</form>

2.
header("Location: http://yourwebhost/yourscript.php?DBGSESSID=1@clienthost:7869");


3.
if your form is in the php script that you were debugging and you got resulted HTML page in the output window, you just press submit on the form to continue debugging. No special actions required. It's done using HTTP cookie.

4.
add DebugBreak() function call somewhere in the script.

You can make yourself a little "Debug" button in IE like this:

1) Add a new link to the links toolbar.
2) Set the link's target this:
Code:
var str = new String(location);
str += str.indexOf('?') == -1 ? '?' : '&';
str += 'DBGSESSID=1@clienthost:7869'

exactly as it's shown here.
Ignore the warning about javascript not having an handler. IE isn't aware of what it's cabaple of...
3) Change the link's name to whatever you want. for example "Debug with PHP Ed".

Now by clicking this link you will re-run the url you are currently in with all it's query string in debug mode for PHP Ed. From this point on the debug session for that windows will persist, as dimitry pointed out.

There is probably a "cleaner" way to do it by settings cookies from javascript. You can even turn off the debug session that way. But for our humble needs this is quite useful.

Here's a "Debug off" javascript code:
Code:
document.cookie = 'DBGSESSID=-1';
document.execCommand('Refresh');

This is IE specific.

Code:

<script>
function goDebug() {
  var str = new String(location);
  str += str.indexOf('?') == -1 ? '?' : '&';
  str += 'DBGSESSID=1@clienthost:7869'
}
</script>
<!-- ----- -->
<a href="javascript:goDebug()">Debug</a>
<!-- OR -->
<input type="button" value="Debug" onclick="goDebug()">

Here's everything you need to execute javascript via a link or a button

To make a link that appears in the IE Link Bar (Even in IE 6):

Add a page to favorites. Any page will do. Name it something like Debug. Put it in the Link folder.
Edit that bookmark (Right Click and choose prperties). Replace the url with:

javascript: var str = new String(location); str += str.indexOf('?') == -1 ? '?' : '&'; str += 'DBGSESSID=1@clienthost:7869'; document.location = str;

This should all be on one line. Say yes when it warns you.

That will do it. Note, however, that this will only solve your problem if the script uses GET. Because this reloads the page, POST data will be lost (As will HTTP_REFERER, etc.).

These will copy over the query string so you don't lose that.

DEBUG OFF: javascript:location.href=location.protocol+'//'+location.hostname+location.pathname+(location.search ? location.search +'&' : '?')+'DBGSESSID=-1'
DEBUG ON: javascript:location.href=location.protocol+'//'+location.hostname+location.pathname+(location.search ? location.search +'&' : '?')+'DBGSESSID=1@clienthost:10001;d=1,p=0'
