[pdt-dev] PDT 2.0 and use of encodings for remote debug
|
I am looking at the various areas where
encoding applies and the current configurable options available in PDT
2.0
The output encoding looks like it only
applies to output from the php script which will be displayed in the Debug
and Browser output views.
The transfer encoding applies to the
binary data that flows over the wire (so must be in sync with the encoding
used by the debug engine when sending information such as stack frame names,
variable names etc). It also looks like the transfer encoding is used to
convert php string information to Java.lang.String for display in the variables
display.
Is this correct ?
One of the issues I have is that in
php strings (ignoring php6 at present) can contain binary or character
data. The character data and the encoding that correctly represents that
data is known to the php program and could very well be different to the
transfer encoding.
A Common problem I see for both Zend
and XDebug debug environments is a user may want to have a binary representation
of a php string in the debugger or may want to display the string based
on a user selected encoding.
Is anyone looking at this issue for
PDT 2.0 ? I haven't had the opportunity to investigate it but it seems
to me that the solution should be common for any installed debugger.
