<h1>Debugging</h1>
<p>PDT debugging 
 function allows you to test your files and applications and detect errors 
 in your code.</p>
<p>The debugger allows you to control the execution of your program using 
 a variety of options including setting breakpoints, stepping through your 
 code, and inspecting your variables and parameters.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>PDT includes 
 several different debugging methods as described below:</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<h3>PHP Script Local Debugging</h3>
<p class="ListBullet1">Allows you to debug files on your workspace using your 
 internal debugger.<br>
The Internal Debugger enables developers to locally validate freshly developed 
 code before deploying to a web server. The internal option means that 
 files located on your workspace can be debugged.  </p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>See <a href="locally_debugging_a_php_script.htm">Locally Debugging a 
 PHP Script</a> for more information.</p>


<div>
<p class="Note">Note:</p>
<p class="NoteText">Your server must be running the XDebug in order for remote debugging  capabilities to function.<br>
</p>
</div>
<h3>PHP Web Page Debugging</h3>
<p>Allows you to debug applications situated on a server. It allows you 
 to debug whole applications, including any required interactive user input.</p>

<p class="Note">Note:</p>
<p class="NoteText">It's recommended that your local project structure 
 reflect the project structure on your server.</p>
<p>See <a href="debugging_a_php_web_page.htm">Debugging a PHP Web Page</a> 
 &#160;for more information.</p>
