@Jon Jon, This is the exact question I have. Have you found an answer yet? I'd like to set a breakpoint in my web service then use the amfphp browser to cause the breakpoint to be hit.

Wade,

How do you configure pdt to debug your amfphp services?

Normally, I just test functions by running through the amfphp browser, and logging the variables to a text file as the function runs. What a pain.

I’ve got pdt with xdebug (or zend) installed just fine, but as far as I can see, this only allows me to debug php scripts that I execute in debug mode from eclipse.

I’d like to be able to set a breakpoint in a function, and when its called from the amfphp browser, halt execution and allow me step through it line by line. Is this even possible?

Anyone seen an AMFPHP LAMP virtual setup for vmware?

Thanks,

Travis

if you own Eclipse PDT you can also use it as a plugin just like you can use flex builder as a plugin.

You need to install eclipse by itself and then add the plugin version rather than the all in one solution.

Thanks for this. I’m a newbie to programming using Eclipse PDT for OSX. Went and spent the money on ZendStudio and now think I’m regretting it. I’d LOVE to get PHP w/debug, and also Flex SDK (or use my wasted Zend money on buying Flex Builder for Eclipse. I can hardly stand that finally all these dev apps are in one place! Would love help/pointers/advice on getting this rolling with OSX.

Thanks!
Joel.

Actually I have a snapshot of the exact production server environment that we use so I was able to take with me the database and everything else! Our production servers run on VMware enterprise with HA and VMotion.

can’t beat apache on linux thats why (plus you could probably emulate a very good clone of your live server)… nice post dude, one of the biggest time wasters on any project could be your workflow, and sorting it out from the very begginging is key to the success of many projects…

enjoy hawaii, looking forward to your forthcoming book.

I couldn’t agree more. I split my projects up using virtual hosts, creating separate mySQL users and separate projects in Zend and recently flex. Having a project space that is also a working web server makes for a nice environment particularly debugging on the server.

Why use an os emulator to run apache/php?
