Might it be possible to invoke the debugger from within a php script? Something like you can do in javascript with WSH debugger:


My interest in this is b/c I'm working in Drupal (a cms), and when I insert php into a node that Drupal must interpret, I clearly have no easy way to set a breakpoint to start debugging unless I find the lines in Drupal that handle embedded php code.

try:

Well what do you know! Thanks-- works great!

(I couldn't and still can't find this in the docs when searching for info on how to invoke debug or even the keyword "debugbreak": Feature request: Add this to more places in docs)

See: php-debug-functions-t2806.html

This definitely needs to be better documented!

DebugBreak() should show in code auto-complete..

Feel free to add it into Tools->Settings->Reserved Words, php4|php5, [Add]

Thank you guys!
I had no idea about the existence of such useful function DebugBreak(), but I need it many times

In the latest release, I did a search for the string "debugbreak" in documentation and came up emptyhanded. I think it should be documented somewhere maybe in the "ways to invoke debugger" section(s).

cheers

Hi

DebugBreak() works fine.

I tried run profiler selecting "Run profiler with debugger" but seen not work with DebugBreak().

Is there a function like DebugBreak() to run profiler from script?

As of version 3.2, dbg can start profiler only from the very beginning of the execution.
