Missing local variables debugging php

[cmanon]

I'm testing ubuntu 10.04 beta xdebug package (version 2.0.5) with php5 (5.3.1) and there's a known bug with these packages combination and local variables appear as uninitialized (more information about this xdebug bug http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=467) such bug is fixed in xdebug beta version (2.1).

Xdebug 2.1.0 rc1 has been available since 2010-04-06. I compiled it. It fixes the issue. So far, I've encountered no problem.
I suggest there should be an update to the Ubuntu Xdebug-package as soon as Xdebug 2.1.0 reaches stable. Xdebug's kind of vital for php-developers and in the current state is unusable.

I can verify the exact same circumstances as Peter. No local variables until I built xdebug 2.1.0RC1 from source, then all is good.

[Kevin Rogers (kevin-rogers)]

I can also verify the same problem, but I have had to revert to PHP 5.2 from Karmic as in addition to the xdebug issues our application will not run in PHP 5.3

I must take back my statement "So far no problems with Xdebug 2.1.0rc1" made above. I have by now seen several cases of Apache growing beyond my 12 G RAM. Netbeans ends the debug session with a "debug socket exception" quite frequently. Hope to get clearer about what is happening and report upstream.

It seems that my problems where caused by the combination with Xcache. See http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=564
After substituting XCache with APC (unfortunately I need a Cache even for testing), I experience no more problems. Well, sorry, not 100% certain, but maybe the hint helps some.

For a stock Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installation I am getting similar behavior to the above complaints. This is a minimal install with just apache 2 , php5.3 running as mod_php, and xdebug

[DjW (8-launchpaddotnet-istillseeglaciers-com)]

As a temporary solution:
sudo apt-get install php4-dev php-pear

Then go to this page http://xdebug.org/find-binary.php which should ultimately lead to compiling the latest version ( stable or RC ).

For my project, xdebug remote debugging works as expected.

[DjW (8-launchpaddotnet-istillseeglaciers-com)]

NOTE! it should be
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php-pear

and not php4-dev

I recompiled the xdebug debian package and got it working without any problems. I had to set the following in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/xdebug.ini and restart apache to make local variable display work in eclipse.

xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000

As a rebuild seems to fix, can this be given back to buildds for a rebuild/SRU?

[Manuel Vazquez Acosta (mva-led)]

XDebug 2.1.0 is released. Has anyone build a .deb for it?

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

Closing bug, seems to be sorted, 2.1.0 is in maverick, not sure why ubuntu-archive is subscribed

And what about the lucid users (since it is LTS)?

Hello,

I got the same problem on windows7. No local variables in eclipse(galileo). I'm using Php ver. 5.3.1 and php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.3-vc6.dll on Windows7.
xdebug configured as it should be and php.exe -m shows that it's loaded - phpinfo() also shows the version and configuration of xdebug.

I can stop at break points, navigate inside/out/forward/jump to etc... I can see the primitive variable ( int , string ) values if I mouse over the code/editor, But I can't see any variables in variables/breakpoint view.

If I mouse over the "object of some class" then I can't see shit neither in editor mouse-overed ballon nor in variables view.

please Help or tell me if you got the same problem.

Will there be an updated binary for Lucid?

I'm happy to make one / provide patches / whatever technically needs to be done to fix this in Lucid, but there's no way to do that from here?
