yes i am trying to get phped to debug a command-line driven php script, and can't seem to get it to work.

i created a shell command with the following parameters...

C:\xampplite\php\php C:\xampplite\htdocs\spp\crm\app\cli\run.php -c mail -a third.payment.report

this fires up a command-line session of php.exe on run.php with the parameters "-c mail -a third.payment.report", which in turn runs an method (called thirdPaymentReportAction) in MailController.php. this is a zend framework project.

the problem is that if i try to put a break point or add a debugbreak(); call, it either gets ignored (breakpoint) or an error is thrown (debugbreak).

is there some trick to get phped to connect to the command line script?

thanks,

debugbreak() needs to know where the ide to connect to.
try this: debugbreak('1@localhost');

as usual, dmitri, your assistance is spot on...

thanks!
