First off: hello everyone

I tried out the evaluation version of phped but some things seem to not work as expected.

Software version(s)
phpED Version 4.6.2 (Build 4632eval)
PHP DBG Listener, version 3.1.7
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies with DBG v3.1.8, (C) 2000,2006, by Dmitri Dmitrienk

Installed Software
* XAMPP packet
- PHP 5.2.0
- Zend Extension
- Apache 2.0 Handler
* Joomla CMS

Project setup
Project
- Root directory: c:\Internet\MyProjectDirectory

Mapping
- Run Mode: 3rd party software
- Root URL: http://localhost/myProjectDirectory (apache directory alias)
- Root Directory: c:\Internet\MyProjectDirectory (local installation)

Files
- Default file to run: c:\Internet\MyProjectDirectory\index.php (as the entry point of my cms)

changed phped default data
Tools -> Settings : Tools -> Tools
- Path to php.ini points to my xampp php.ini to reflect the real environment

Debugging process
DBG Listener properly startet and connected


If i set a breakpoint in one of my project files that is reached on the initial run, everything works fine. After my index.php is parsed, the output window pops up. At the same time, my local IP disconnects from the dbg listener and the last log file entry is "Debug session finished".

Well, unfortunately that behaviour leads to problems when clicking a link in the output window. The DBGSESSID isn't added to any link and so i am not able to debug files that aren't loaded with the first run of my index.php. I may add the dbgsessid manually but that takes plenty of time.

Is there anything i missed out in the configuration process?

Waiting for an answer with best regards - Arnd

Could you please check Tools->Settings->Tools->Debugger - see if session wide debugging is turned on. You can also set the debugger to stop at the first line after run in this part of the settings. ANother thing I'd like to ask- does your code do anything with cookies by any chance?
Thanks!

Hi yfaktor and thanks for your answer.

The Debug session checkbox is checked. As i don't like to stop at the first line of code, this option is unchecked. The Joomla CMS uses cookies and sessions alot. But the dbgsessid is neither unset/deleted nor overwritten by other operations/actions.

Now i use the debugger along with IE7 toolbar as the phped build-in explorer doesn't act as expected -.-

Debugger has no problems with Joomla.
Make sure you run debugger using F9 and breakpoints that supposed to trigger are set on executing lines (they are marked with blue dots while stepping with F7).
Finally, make sure that eAccelerator is not installed or disabled. When it's on, debugger won't work with breakpoints.
