[UPHPU] NetBeans

[Walt Haas]

Just a heads up:  For the last couple of weeks I have been using 
NetBeans 6.5

http://www.netbeans.org/

for development and especially for interactive debugging of PHP and it 
has been a huge help.  It lets me set breakpoints and single-step 
through code, including code running on Apache.

NetBeans is free and written in Java so it should run on about anything 
that has a recent JVM.

For interactive debugging I also use the Xdebug ( http://xdebug.org/ ) 
extension to the PHP interpreter with its debugclient to talk to 
NetBeans.  I have all this running on Ubuntu 8.04 with PHP 5.2 and 
Apache 2.2.

You might want give it a try, it has been a real help to me.
