the first file but not any other files which are referenced and loaded?

Are breakpoints set in these other files ? or are you only using the option
of break in first line ?

when I try to break into a file which is loaded as a result of my clicking

debugger stops at the breakpoints but not when the page is loaded as a
result of interacting with the browser.

Thanks for your help...

I set breakpoI did a little more testing and found that, the breakpoints
work if kthe *.php file

This is because the debugger only runs for a single "page". So when the
page is done loading the debugger stops. If it doesn't (haven't been
able to debug myself yet due to other issues that are not PDT related)
it might this a problem with the request strings needed for XDebug not
being propagated.

In order to "activate" XDebug eclipse sends something along the lines of
?XDEBUG_SESSION=......&XDEBUG_KEY= with the url that is used to
load/debug the page. When the page is loaded the links on the pages
themselves will not contain this and this when you click on a link the
debugger is not fired up. You could copy/paste the links and append the
XDEBUG information to them and open the pages manually. Another option
is to enable the xdebug autostarter in your xdebug.ini. Not sure if this
can be set from a user environment (as is possible with at least
remote_host and remote_port). Also I'm not sure if eclipse will accept
this (as the key will be different, you can set the session name to just
"ECLIPSE" or whatever eclipse gives with it).

Regards,

Marijn.

out how to propagate the XDEBUG_SESSION to subsequent page requests?

Hi Ron,
you shouldn't need to. When a web page is invoked with the XDEBUG_SESSION_START
the browser will receive a cookie from xdebug. While this cookie is set pages
loaded by that web browser will be debuggable.

There are 2 situations however that are going to be a problem
1. Your browser has cookies disabled
2. the script you want to debug is being executed in a different request from
the browser request and that request did not come from a browser with the cookie
set.

Clicking on a link should work because the request comes from the browser. How are you
debugging the first script ? do you set an explicit breakpoint or are you breaking on
the first line ?

Also for the xdebug support in pdt to work, your apache htdocs (if equivalent in IIS)
must point to your eclipse workspace.
