How do I handle multiple debugging?

For example:

I debug through a php page, then I a HTML page with the results. On this page I select values from select boxes and click a submit button. On this submit I want to begin a new debug session based on the values selected.

Can't get this to work.

Tried parameters, however they do NOT display in the watch window?

it works w/o any additional manipulations and debug of the next page would start automatically if the following conditions are met:
a) your page submits results to the same server/domain as it itself was gotten from. For example your debug your first page from http://myserver/mydir1/mypage1.php
and it submits the results to
http://myserver/mydir2/mypage2.php or http://myserver/mydir1/mypage3.php or
http://myserver/mydir1/mypage1.php
it would work while
http://anyotherserver/anydir/anypage.php
will not work
b) you have cookies enabled. It's not always sufficient to have them enabled in the browser settings. People often install software like Norton Internet Security which may _stop_ cookies. You would check appropriate settings.
c) you have enabled cookes in DBG settings. Check debugger.enable_session_cookie=on in phpinfo() results.

See FAQ and some other people posts at this forum board to see how to start debug session if any of the conditions above isn't or can't be met.

Using php_self on submission of the form so it is returning to the same page and server, etc.

I disabled cookies, they were set however same results.

Settings are correct with phpinfo
"debugger.enable_session_cookie=on "

The old version free version 2.10 that was free worked great with this!!!!! It was pretty much there without any manipulating or settings...

Is the "nusphere" version of debugging supposed to have this? I sure hope so!!!

I'm pretty set on purchasing this software... currently testing trial.

HOWEVER, I MUST get this multiple pages debugging working or I WILL NOT buy...

Appreciate the input...

Maybe seeing part of my code may help???? Notice towards the end I attempted to add a debug session, this does kick it off again but doesn't debug, no values are passed, etc. Appreciate the input!!!!

Did you run your script from the browser or from the IDE ?
In latter case did you run it with debugger or not ?
If former case did you have IDE running while pressing [GO>>] button ?
and the final question, what are the settings have you set for DBG ? Please show dbg section from phpinfo().

I ran it from an external browser (IE) Not sure what you mean by running it from the IDE? Do you mean NuSphere application itself?

N/A

Yes, NuSphere application was running if that is what your are referring to IDE as?

PHPINFO() settings are below

Very much appreciate your assistance!!! Once I get debugger to work, I'm buying, love this things (except for debugging multiple pages not working)

In looking for the php_dbg.dll file I only found it in one place...

c:\phpdev\www\extensions

This is what I have been using to store and debug out of with ver 2.10 before.

Thanks again for your insight!

strangely enough, I didn't encounter any problem with your script. It properly runs debug session after GO button pressed.
Your settings are looking okay.
Could you try to step this script

Code:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

?
I hope it will clarify what's up.

Stepped through the phpinfo(), nothing strange. Just shows me the results of it, steps through it just fine.

Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2004 7:09 pm

Great. What elements are in $_COOKIES during debug ?

Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2004 7:16 am

Not sure what you mean?

The only entries I found for cookies within PHPINFO was below:

session.use_cookies On On
session.use_only_cookies Off Off

When I say I am debuggin through PHPINFO(), I step through it but it immediately launches the results in the browser. It being the only piece of code there, how do I "step through" this???

Thanks again.
