What's the best debugger/IDE to use with CI on a Mac? Thanks to all in advance for any info.

Hi Vik- I have great results with jedit - java based text editor. It is cross-platform so if you find yourself having to work on a Windows or linux machine you can still work in the jedit interface. http://www.jedit.org - it has a php syntax highlighter and code completion / class / variable suggestion while you code. Also has an ftp plugin so you can work live on a server through ftp, edit, save, hit refresh... no going to another application to upload the file. Saves me a lot of time.

Does jEdit let you set breakpoints and view the contents of your variables while your code is running?

No. It does not function as a live debugger. Sorry.

That's cool. Well, there must be something that does. What do people here like to use for debugging?
[eluser]Vik[/eluser]
The FireBug plugin for FireFox lets you set breakpoints and view the contents of variables. Maybe that's all I need. Are there are other debuggers that people here can recommend? Edit: Wait, FireBug only works on browser-side code e.g. Java. I need something like that for PHP code that gets executed on the server.

I have never used it, but Zend Studio is probably the gold standard for PHP debugging on the Mac. I actually think it is the only option for what you want. http://www.zend.com/products/zend_studio

Cool. I've just been visiting their web site and they look very good. Thanks for the info.

Also check out phpeclipse. I believe it will do what you are looking for. |
