This may
+ differ depending on your system. For Windows based systems, this is a
+ path to a file called php.exe. For Linux systems, this is a path to a
+ file simply called php. For Linux systems, this is often in
+ /usr/bin/php. To specify the PHP Interpreter, select Preferences from
+ the Window drop down menu. Open up the PHPEclipse selection and click on
+ XDebug. In the settings pane on the right that appears, enter your debug
+ port and the path to your PHP interpreter. The default debug port for
+ XDebug is 9000, but your system may be setup differently. To verify that
+ 9000 is the correct port, find a way to access your phpinfo() page and
+ check the value of xdebug.remote_port. The value of xdebug.remote_port
+ should match the debug port value.</p><div class="figure"><a name="phpeclipse.debuggingremote.xdebugsetup"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 1.

+ configuration. This will tell Eclipse how to start the debugger for your
+ project. To do this, select 'Open Debug Dialog' from the Run drop down
+ menu. You will be presented with a list of items which you can debug.
+ Double click on the entry titled 'PHP XDebug Remote Script'. This will
+ create a new configuration and allow you to specify the necessary
+ options. You can provide a name for your debug configuration, and then
+ you must specify the Ide Identification String. You can select anything
+ you want for this string. It is recommended to keep it short and
+ memorable. Ensure that you remember this value for later. In our
+ example, we will use the string firstproject.</p><div class="figure"><a name="phpeclipse.debuggingremote.debugconfigurationremote"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 2.

+ an identification string, click on the Pathmap tab. In the pathmap tab,
+ you specify how Eclipse translates local path names to remote path
+ names. To map a path, click on the New button to create a new map. If
+ your web server is located on the same system that Eclipse is running
+ on, both of these paths will be the same. In either case, under Local
+ Path enter the path to the root of your project on the machine that
+ Eclipse is running on. In Remote Path, enter the path to the root of
+ your project on the machine the web server is running on.</p><div class="figure"><a name="phpeclipse.debuggingremote.debugconfigurationremotepathmap"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 3.

+ button to begin the debugger.</p><p>You will notice that in contrast to when we were debugging
+ locally, remote debugging will not automatically start your script. It
+ will simply start the debugging and begin listening for connections on
+ the debugging port. To begin our script, we open it up in a web
+ browser.</p><div class="figure"><a name="phpeclipse.debuggingremote.remoteexecution"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 4.

There is no
+ link at this point between your script and the Eclipse debugger. We have
+ to somehow tell PHP to look for the Eclipse debugger for processing
+ instructions. To do this, we have to add a variable to the request
+ string. This variable is called XDEBUG_SESSION_START and its value
+ should match the Ide Indentification String we specified earlier. In
+ this case, our new URL will be
+ http://127.0.0.1/myFirstProject/index.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=firstproject.</p><div class="figure"><a name="phpeclipse.debuggingremote.remotedebugxdebugvariable"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 5.

+ start debugging.</p><p>You can now resume the process of debugging as demonstrated in the
+ local debugging tutorial. The process is the same, except that instead
+ of the output being displayed in the console it is displayed in the
+ browser where you loaded your script.</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ar04.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ar04.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ar04s03.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Debugging a Project On a Web Server Using PHPEclipse and
