I have some problems debugging my symfony 1.4 applications with eclipse.

I am using:

  • eclipse helios
  • XDebug as PHP Debugger
  • Default PHP Web Server

When I am starting symfony like this:

http://myURL/frontend_dev.php/event?XDEBUG_SESSION_START

everything works fine but when I click on the id to edit, it ‘forgets’ that I am in the debug mode. Of course I can change it manually back by typing 

http://myURL/frontend_dev.php/event/1/edit?XDEBUG_SESSION_START

but that’s annoying, if you debugging this several times.

Concatenating an equals value, e.g.

http://myURL/frontend_dev.php/event?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=1

only works for the next page and after that the session and the cookie is gone.

Knows someone what happening there? Any help much appreciated!

    When you start a debug session, XDebug writes a cookie that expires after an hour, or until there is a call with XDEBUG_SESSION_STOP (see http://xdebug.org/docs/remote). So, basically, your debug client should get a hit no matter what.

    That leads me to believe you are probably not starting the session as you should, that is through an eclipse (PDT, or any other) PHP Remote Launch Configuration. If you just trigger the session-start using a URL, the client (eclipse) might not be ready to accept any further calls after the first hit.

    Let me know if that helps, or you need any more clarifications.

    Cheers!
