My setup:
Apache 2, PHP 5, both installed on my local windows PC as a test server, configured to serve files from http://localhost/



Hi

Im using phped 5.9

I am using cURL to post data to a page that is on the same server, the page address (on my local test server) is /pages/test.php

The i call curl_exec it returns the response from test.php, but the debugger doesnt step into test.php

Likewise, if i use a jQuery.ajax to post to test.php, the debugger steps into test.php.

cURL runs a request clear of debugger things because you didn't supply them, so debugger has no clue that you want to start it.
To make debug session propagated "through" cURL call, you have to add eitehr DBGSESSID cookie or GET or POST variable with this name, like mentioned on this FAQ page http://www.nusphere.com/kb/technicalfaq/howto_run_dbg.htm
For details on DBGSESSID syntax, please check FAQ page: http://www.nusphere.com/kb/technicalfaq/faq_dbg_related.htm

Hi Although it's an old post, I ran into the same problem and found a solution, wich is more, "informative" than Dimitri's one...

The easiest way to pass DBGSESSID is like this



This way, it won't interfere with your CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.

You debugger will then tell you that a new debugging session has started.

Answer yes to activate the new debug session and debug your code.

Voilà!
