I am using PHP 5.3 on Ubuntu 10.0.4.
I recently upgraded from PHP 5.2 + Netbeans 6.8, where debugging worked fine. Currently, when I am debugging, only SOME variables are available – in some statements (for e.g), where a non-null value is being assigned to a LHS variable, the variable does not appear in the variables window – even though it is clearly in scope.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior – is this a feature or bug?
The correct answer (i.e. how to fix this) is to be found here: http://phphints.wordpress.com/2010/06/28/local-variables-dont-display-in-netbeans-with-php-5-3-2-and-xdebug-2-0-5/
