Hi,

I am new to PHP and fairly new to Vb. I am however an experienced Visual Foxpro developer. I figure I should be able to pickup PHP and the VB code if I can run the code in a debugger and step through it line by line.

I am looking for a good debugger that will allow me to do that and not introduce any additional complications. Can you reccomend a package to me?

Thanks!
Barry

Zend Studio has some debugging functionality in it, but I have never tried it. I find it hard to use debugging tools for PHP given it's interpreted nature and that it needs to often run in a web browser to be useful.

Problem is that PHP runs at the server and not at the client.

Thanks for the replies so far, though they were not much help. You guys must be better programmers than I. I find a debugger essential!

Any other reccomedations?

Thanks!

You may want to post at vBulletin.com to see what the developers for Jelsoft use.

I do use debugging for Java and C# but they're different beasts than PHP. I choose to not write bugs in my PHP, thus solving any debugging issues.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
