Ajax interactions usually produces different results, 'cause an Ajax interaction that returns an entire document does not make much sense. Formaldehyde is for Ajax interaction, which "in my case" I always catch via headers checks or special parameters.
Formaldehyde is client agnostic, FireBUG or FirePHP could or could not be there, but providing both server and client code, we do not have to worry about anything. Finally, even if called manually, the page will have a status 500 and the error will be still readable, being it the first JSON encoded key but obviously, for manual interactions it is extremely simple to spot the error, if any, since PHP clearly shows it in the page, if there are no other debuggers. The stuff about application/json does not make much sense to me, and FireBUG shows automatically things passed via eval, it is not about the response type (also because it could simply be a security problem) Again, Formaldehyde, is client side agnostic, so if we have IE, rather than Firefox, or Safari, Chrome, Opera, Formaldehyde will work, helping with unmanaged PHP errors (or managed one, if we manually throw an exception or trigger an error) Regards > From: kranthi...@gmail.com > Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2009 11:39:43 +0530 > To: pa...@quillandmouse.com > CC: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] RE: [Formaldehyde] The Most Basic Ajax - PHP Error Debugger > > I dont think I understood you completely.. > > Javascript debugger: Something you use to debug javascript. but > Formaldehyde dosent make any seance if xhr object is not used. > PHP Debugger: We cant use Formaldehyde to debug errors in every single > PHP script.
