根据问题的不同，我喜欢将error_reporting(E_ALL)与echo测试混合使用(以找到最初发生错误的违规行/文件;你知道它并不总是行/文件php告诉你对吗?)，IDE大括号匹配(解决“解析错误:语法错误，意外的$end”问题)，和print_r();退出;转储(真正的程序员查看源代码;p)。

你也不能用“memory_get_usage();”和“memory_get_peak_usage();”来打败phpdebug(检查sourceforge)来找到问题区域。

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)

我使用Netbeans的XDebug和Easy XDebug FireFox插件

The add-on is essential when you debug MVC projects, because the normal way XDebug runs in Netbeans is to register the dbug session via the url. With the add-on installed in FireFox, you would set your Netbeans project properties -> Run Configuratuion -> Advanced and select "Do Not Open Web Browser" You can now set your break points and start the debugging session with Ctrl-F5 as usual. Open FireFox and right-click the Add-on icon in the right bottom corner to start monitoring for breakpoints. When the code reaches the breakpoint it will stop and you can inspect your variable states and call-stack.

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.

Nusphere也是一个很好的php调试器 nusphere
