For those who code in Notepad++, I just want to confirm that Notepad++ does not have any built-in debugging function (i.e. ability to set breakpoints, step one by one and look at values in the middle of execution). I’m new to PHP coding and am looking for a good editor/IDE to use. Since I would like a debugging function, your answer would greatly help me narrow my choices. Note that I’ve recently downloaded and am in fact using Notepad++ at the moment, and cannot seem to find either a built-in debugger or a debugging plug-in from the Notepad++ menus. Thanks in advance.

There is the DBGP Plugin for NP++ that hooks into xDebug if you want to try it.
I found decent install/setup instructions here, but as with most things computer related, YMMV.
