How to debug with Zend Framework files in the same project with the Application

Zend Framework files placed in the same project with the Application is what we called Option #1 in Requirements section of this tutorial. The nice thing about this setup is that you need to exactly nothing to start debugging of your Zend Framework Application – except of course for opening your file in the PHP editor and hitting Run in Debugger button ( that nice green triangle on upper left). Basically, using Option #1 means – you will be using NuSphere’s regular debugging with 3-rd partt webserver i.e. Apache or IIS). All of the features of NuSphere’s PHP Debugger will be available and working without any additional setup. For example – you can set a break point in any of the Zend Framework files.

How to debug with Zend Framework files placed in separate project

This is the setup of Option #2 of the Requirements section of course. Debugging in this case works just as well as it does for Option #1, it only requires you to map Zend Framework directory to the directory used by the server. Since in this manual we are running Zend Framework and Apache on the same machine with PhpED, Zend Framework folder from another project (the project pointing to Zend Framework files) will be mapped to itself! Just like it is shown below:
Zend Framework Map

Please note that this mapping should be added in the properties of your main project, which is in our case is Mail. With this in place you can for example:
  • Set the break point in c:\Program Files\nusphere\TechPlat\Apache\htdocs\Zend\Loader.php:
    Zend Framework Break Point Remote file

  • Start debugging c:\Program Files\nusphere\TechPlat\Apache\htdocs\Mail\SimpleMailer.php:
    Zend Framework debug start

  • And once you hit that breakpoint you will see the same picture that we showed before :
    Zend Framework stop break point
