dbgp-client
Commandline DBGp (Xdebug) client.
About
I have been using Xdebug for while, for profiling applications, but when I looked into its debugging capabilities, it appears that there is no standalone client. Since I'm not an IDE type of person, I wanted something, I could use together with any editor.
The client is no where near feature complete. In particular the lack of support for breakpoints, make it rather impractical to use.
To use, extract the files, and run dbgp-controller.php from a bash prompt (cygwin will do, if you're using windows). The debugger will wait for incoming connections. Refer to the Xdebug documentation for details on how to set up the debugger.
I have found the Xdebug Helper firefox extension useful for enabling/disabling debugging.
