i have a password secured php site that requires you to login everytime you open a new browser. I cant start debugging on the page i want since debugger opens a new instance of browser and have to login. I have to step one line at a time, go through all the includes and it let me login. always goes back to the login page. Seems the debugger is not detecting the session variables. Is there a way where I can just set a debugger break on a included file and when the right page is run that includes that break, the debugger stops right there? Must i step through every single included file to get where i want?

There are some ways on how to run debug session:
