Question

I have eclipse setup with PHP debugging – that’s not a problem.

The problem is that it only debugs scripts I ran via eclipse / browser.

I am working with the Facebook-Credits which causes a call-back to my server (using normal HTTP post).

I am sure there is a way to make my debugger kick into action once the request is received [not via browser], I just haven’t found it! 😛 (I googled this quiet a bit)

If anyone has some tutorial/link that would be great,

Thanks

If you’re using XDebug, it’s just a matter of adding the parameter value pair XDEBUG_SESSION_START=name_of_session to the query string.

So if you were giving the callback:

http://example.com/callback

you give instead:

http://example.com/callback?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=name_of_session

And make sure you have a debugging session running in your IDE so XDebug can connect to it.
