Thanks for the advice ... I'll take a look at dbg2 ... if I get stuck, I'll shoot you a plea for help!

I spent a lot of time trying to get it to work properly and failed. :( I tried 4 or 5 different PHP debuggers and I didn't like any of them. Not being one to give up easily, I kept looking. I found an excellent PHP debugger and editor from https://sourceforge.net/projects/dbg2/. It took a little while getting it installed because there are no docs, but I've been using it for a month and couldn't be happier. The author Dmitri has borrowed a lot of ideas from the Delphi IDE so using it is quite intuitive. I use it as my main PHP editor. It is also faster than any other PHP debugger I've tried (there are no annoying delays or screen flashes when single stepping through the PHP code) and it can also debug into Include files which other debuggers may not be able to do. It can also display Local, Global, Call Stack, Watch, Immediate, Breakpoint windows at the bottom of the screen. It can also display arrays and all class object properties which is very cool. All in all, it's a great PHP editor/debugger. There are versions for Windows (which is what I'm using), BSD and Linux. You also get the source code for it and you'll definitely like the price. It's free. :-) Brent If you have a problem setting it up, shoot me off an email and I'll see what I can do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
