PHP server debugging Zend Debugger installation tutorial_PHP tutorial

In fact, the debugging function of Zend Studio (I will refer to it as "ZDE" below) is divided into internal debugging and remote debugging. Internal debugging is preliminary code debugging using ZDE's built-in PHP (available in versions 4 and 5). We focus on remote debugging because it can completely simulate a real operating environment.

Remote debugging requires server-side component support. Our content today is how to install this server-side debugging environment. The debugging component used is Zend Debugger, which is light and useful. At the time of writing this article, Its latest version is 5.2.14, which is slightly updated with the 5.2.10 version widely circulated on the Internet. My server is apache under windows, so I downloaded the windows version of Zend Debugger. The compressed package is about 2.1M and has a readme.txt. I think it is necessary to read it:

Zend Debugger installation instructions
————————————
1. Locate ZendDebugger.so or ZendDebugger.dll file that is compiled for the correct version of PHP (4.3.x , 4.4.x, 5.0.x, 5.1.x, 5.2.x) in the appropriate directory.
2. Add the following line to the php.ini file:
Linux and Mac OS X: zend_extension=/ full/path/to/ZendDebugger.so
Windows: zend_extension_ts=/full/path/to/ZendDebugger.dll
Windows non-tread safe: zend_extension=/full/path/to/ZendDebugger.dll

(*) the windows non-thread safe is used only with Zend Core 2.0

3. Add the following lines to the php.ini file:
zend_debugger.allow_hosts=
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always

4. Place dummy.php file in the document root directory.
5. Restart web server.

The installation method has been described in great detail here, so I will describe it again in my obscure language
The following is a list of all files in the compressed package:

Extract the appropriate Zend Debugger version that corresponds to your current php version. My php version is 5.2.5, so I dragged out 5_2_x_comp (as for 5_2_x_nts_comp, it refers to non-tread safe (if I don’t understand the specific purpose, I won’t use it indiscriminately), I moved 5_2_x_compZendDebugger.dll to D:myserverZendDebugger5_2_xZendDebugger.dll, and decompressed the dummy.php in the compressed package to the web root directory. The DocumentRoot of my apache here is set in D:/myserver, copy dummy.php to D:myserverwwwroot, then modify php.ini and add these contents:

zend_extension_ts=D:/myserver/ZendDebugger/5_2_x/ZendDebugger.dll

zend_debugger.allow_hosts=127.0.0.1/32,192.168.1.88/24
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always

Then restart apache. After a short wait, we enter phpinfo() to check whether it is successful?

Aha, it’s running very well~

Open ZDE below, Tools menu->Preferences, select the debug tab, set the debugging mode to server, fill in the URL of the web server for the Debug Server URL, the port of my apache here is 8080, if it is the default port 80, just You can omit it, OK, the setting is completed, confirm it (as shown in the picture)

Select Tools->Check Debug Server connection, select Yes in the dialog box that comes out, and we see a prompt that the connection is successful

At this point, our Debug Server has been successfully installed. Regarding how to use Zend Studio's server debugging, the following tutorials will elaborate on it, so stay tuned.
