I primarily use Dreamweaver as my main editor. And debug my server-side code using mostly manual techniques (echo'ing variables and the like).
I recently downloaded an evaluation of Zend Studio Server and am looking to take advantage of it's remote debugging capabilities. However, since deugging with an IDE is a mostly foriegn paradigm, I was wondering of how I should get started. I can connect to the Debug server, so everything is up and running just fine, and I was able to launch the login.php page of my app thru it. However, it didn't stop at my breakpoint, and when I dropped a variable in to the watch window, it's value never changed.
As you might know, the documentation for this tool leaves something to be desired, and while I've got a basic understanding of the terminology, I don't know how to put it into practice. What I want to do is be able to see variable values change in real time in the IDE, and be able to work with blocks of code in the debugging state while I test it out bug fixes and the like.
I'm sure it's pretty simple to use once you know how, but as I said, this is a new paradigm for me, and I'm not sure how to get started in it.
Any help you can provide, including links to tutorials and the like would be awesome. I've been developing PHP/ASP/CFML apps since '96, so you can get as detailed or technical as you'd like, as long as you remain concise.
Thanks in Advance.
