Komodo IDE works well with xdebug, even for the remore debugging. It needs minimum amount of configuration. All you need is a version of php that Komodo can use locally to step through the code on a breakpoint. If you have the script imported into komodo project, then you can set breakpoints with a mouse-click just how you would set it inside eclipse for debugging a java program. Remote debugging is obviously more tricky to get it to work correctly ( you might have to map the remote url with a php script in your workspace ) than a local debugging setup which is pretty easy to configure if you are on a MAC or a linux desktop.

手动调试对我来说通常更快——var_dump()和debug_print_backtrace()是你需要用来武装你的逻辑的所有工具。

For the really gritty problems that would be too time consuming to use print_r/echo to figure out I use my IDE's (PhpEd) debugging feature. Unlike other IDEs I've used, PhpEd requires pretty much no setup. the only reason I don't use it for any problems I encounter is that it's painfully slow. I'm not sure that slowness is specific to PhpEd or any php debugger. PhpEd is not free but I believe it uses one of the open-source debuggers (like XDebug previously mentioned) anyway. The benefit with PhpEd, again, is that it requires no setup which I have found really pretty tedious in the past.

通过简单地var_dump一些关键变量，可以很容易地找到大多数错误，但这显然取决于您开发的应用程序类型。

对于更复杂的算法，步进/断点/观察函数是非常有用的(如果没有必要)

集成的调试器，可以在逐步执行代码时观察变量值的变化，这真的很酷。但是，它们确实需要在服务器上安装软件，并在客户机上进行一定数量的配置。两者都需要定期维护以保持良好的工作状态。

print_r易于编写，并保证在任何设置中都能工作。

这是我的调试环境:

error_reporting(-1);
assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE, 1);
assert_options(ASSERT_WARNING, 0);
assert_options(ASSERT_BAIL, 0);
assert_options(ASSERT_QUIET_EVAL, 0);
assert_options(ASSERT_CALLBACK, 'assert_callcack');
set_error_handler('error_handler');
set_exception_handler('exception_handler');
register_shutdown_function('shutdown_handler');

function assert_callcack($file, $line, $message) {
    throw new Customizable_Exception($message, null, $file, $line);
}

function error_handler($errno, $error, $file, $line, $vars) {
    if ($errno === 0 || ($errno & error_reporting()) === 0) {
        return;
    }

    throw new Customizable_Exception($error, $errno, $file, $line);
}

function exception_handler(Exception $e) {
    // Do what ever!
    echo '<pre>', print_r($e, true), '</pre>';
    exit;
}

function shutdown_handler() {
    try {
        if (null !== $error = error_get_last()) {
            throw new Customizable_Exception($error['message'], $error['type'], $error['file'], $error['line']);
        }
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        exception_handler($e);
    }
}

class Customizable_Exception extends Exception {
    public function __construct($message = null, $code = null, $file = null, $line = null) {
        if ($code === null) {
            parent::__construct($message);
        } else {
            parent::__construct($message, $code);
        }
        if ($file !== null) {
            $this->file = $file;
        }
        if ($line !== null) {
            $this->line = $line;
        }
    }
}
