Getting started with remote debugging

With the recent release of the latest version of Eclipse (Galileo) it’s a good time to start using it or upgrading from a previous version.

I know many of us have struggled with coding PHP the hardware using nothing more than an editor and a development installation of the web site - or even worse the live production site. Part of the reason is probably that the task of setting up a full development environment complete with debugger for PHP seems to be difficult and all the more so if you have an existing and complex PHP website that you would like to take control of. In my case the website is a PHP Joomla based site and this provides me with a lot of code that I have never looked at and little really good documentation to tell me how things work. I've tried working with it with and without Eclipse PHP and all I can say is that the effort in setting Eclipse up was well worth it in terms both of efficiency and in having confidence.

You could say that without Eclipse I was flying blind. With it - I can tackle anything.

So if you have a PHP web site or are about to start one - don't hesitate to download the latest Eclipse PHP and do it the logical way.
