PHP Debug Perspective

The PHP Debug Perspective can be launched automatically when a Debug session is run. It contains views which allow you to control and monitor the debugging process.

The PHP Debug Perspective contains the following views:

• Debug View - Here you can control (stop, pause, and resume) the debugging process. You can also decide whether to step into, step over or step return (step out of) certain functions.
• Variables View - Displays the various variables in your script.
• Breakpoints View - Displays the breakpoints you have entered.
• Debug Output View - Displays the textual output of the script. This will be updated as the debugging process continues.
• Browser Output View - Displays the output of the script to a browser. This will be updated as the debugging process continues.
• Expressions View - Displays the progress of selected variables. The view will only be displayed if you have selected to watch a variable.
• Scripts View - Displays a list of available scripts.
• Editor - Displays the code at the relevant sections, according to which line is selected in the Debug View window.
• Console View - Displays any error and warning messages.
• Tasks View - Displays tasks that were added to your script (if applicable).
