Hi,

With "multiple Parallel debugging sessions", is it now possible to switch from debugging locally to debugging on the prod server easily, without changing the project properties every time? Or is it only to launch multiple debug sessions on the same server?

you can debug multiple sessions simultaneously, regardless of their locality or target project.
In other words, you can debug even the same script in multiple sessions, and you can debug different scripts in the same project and you can debug different scripts in different projects. I hope it's clear that in latter case you can debug your scripts against different web servers.
Certainly, only one session can be active at a time and it will respond to your commands, but all the others can either wait until you switch to them or proceed execution in background. See Run->Suspend, Run->Resume, and View->Debug Windows->Debug Sessions menus.

Thanks for the reply.. But I'm still not sure how to debug my project locally and on the prod server easily.

Let's say my project, locally, is:



And my project, on my prod server is:




How can I debug my project locally, then debug it on the prod server (which has the dbg installed and configured) without having to edit my project properties each time?


Thanks for the help!

Looks like you're using the same set of files in two projects - one for your local development and another for production. So, you need to create two projects where only project root directories will be the same, while almost all the other properties will be different (publishing, url, remote root etc).

OK, I see.. I'll do that. But It would be really nice if there was a "server target" switch in a project properties. So instead of having 2 projects in my workspaces, just to be able to debug on the prod server, I would only have one. It would be prettier to right-click on the single project and choose the pre-configured "target server" I want to target for debugging, rather than having to select another project, right-clicking on it and "activating" it.

Just a suggestion!

Thanks again for the help! And keep on the good work with phped, it's appreciated.

I'm now working with two projects, as you suggested, and it's not that bad.. At least it's working!

One last question though, if you don't mind:

Now I'm able to debug on my prod server. But I don't even need to put "?DBGSESSID=1@clienthost:7869" at the end of the URL or to use a dbg toolbar! As soon as I load a page of this prod site in my browser, it automatically tries to debug in phped!

How can I switch the debugging feature on/off easily? I though that browsing the site normally wouldn't trigger a debugging session but that I had to use a toolbar or something.. I don't want to debug all the time.

Is it possible that you still have the "Stop on the first line after run" option still enabled?
Check out the IDE > Run & Debug page, it is the 2nd checkmark.

Thanks Blizz but no, it's unchecked.

Also, the phped project the prod site is mapped to, "project_prod", is not activated:

1) I remove all breakpoints and all "debugbreak()" in "project_prod".
2) I activate the project "project_local" to debug locally. "project_prod" is not active anymore.
3) I go on my prod site using firefox, wihtout any "?DBGSESSID=1@clienthost:7869", bookmarklet or toolbar. I just surf "myproject.com", for example.
4) The site doesn't load and phped activate itself. It shows this message:

---------------
New debug session with "myproject.com" server has started. It looks like "project_prod" project contains all necessary mapping info without which breakpoints and some
other features may fail to work.

Do you want to make "project_prod" active?

[] do not show this dialog

[yes] [no]
---------------

If I click "no" (because I do not want to debug the prod server or activate its project) this error pops twice, for two different "FILE" in my project:

---------------
Failes to map "/usr/local/apache/www/myproject/FILE.php" remote file to local file system.

For more details on how to setup project mapping visit nusphere site.

[ok]
---------------

And this appends for each and every page I browse on the prod site.

I want to be able to browse my prod site without phped trying to debug it all the time!

by clicking Stop button

Sorry I don't understand.

If you click Stop button (or Run->Stop menu), it will drop debug session and won't start it again until you explicitly start new with Run In Debugger.
