Hi all,

Currently I am able to debug a single PHP page directly. My problem is I would need to debug a PHP page, e.g pageX.php. Unfortunately pageX.php will never be able to called directly, it would be redirected to pageA.php --> pageB.php --> pageC.php... before finally go to pageX.php.

I've tried to open pageX.php using the debugger, but when e.g pageA.php was displayed as a final html output, then click some button at pageA output, seems it will never come back to the debugging session on pageX.php code.

Please advice.

Check if pageA and PageX are on the same server (hostname in the URL) and are behind the same protocol (http and http or https and https).
If not, you need to add DBGSESSID to the pageX's URL when your code redirects to pageX from pageA, or add DebugBreak() somewhere in the pageX code. Read FAQ forum on DBGSESSID syntax.

Also, make sure that debug session checkbox is checked in Tools->Settings->Debugger.

An even simpler method is to use the Nusphere IE Toolbar which came with my PhpEd 4.6 and click through the pages until you want to debug. Stop when you get to your debugging point and click the "debug" button on the toolbar.

ddmitrie's method is essentially the same, this is just a little simpler.


I use this method when debugging my large HTML_QuickForm_Controller forms.
