我使用Netbeans的XDebug和Easy XDebug FireFox插件

The add-on is essential when you debug MVC projects, because the normal way XDebug runs in Netbeans is to register the dbug session via the url. With the add-on installed in FireFox, you would set your Netbeans project properties -> Run Configuratuion -> Advanced and select "Do Not Open Web Browser" You can now set your break points and start the debugging session with Ctrl-F5 as usual. Open FireFox and right-click the Add-on icon in the right bottom corner to start monitoring for breakpoints. When the code reaches the breakpoint it will stop and you can inspect your variable states and call-stack.

集成的调试器，可以在逐步执行代码时观察变量值的变化，这真的很酷。但是，它们确实需要在服务器上安装软件，并在客户机上进行一定数量的配置。两者都需要定期维护以保持良好的工作状态。

print_r易于编写，并保证在任何设置中都能工作。

您可以使用Firephp作为firebug的附加组件在与javascript相同的环境中调试php。

我还使用前面提到的Xdebug来分析php。

For the really gritty problems that would be too time consuming to use print_r/echo to figure out I use my IDE's (PhpEd) debugging feature. Unlike other IDEs I've used, PhpEd requires pretty much no setup. the only reason I don't use it for any problems I encounter is that it's painfully slow. I'm not sure that slowness is specific to PhpEd or any php debugger. PhpEd is not free but I believe it uses one of the open-source debuggers (like XDebug previously mentioned) anyway. The benefit with PhpEd, again, is that it requires no setup which I have found really pretty tedious in the past.

由Derick Rethans编写的Xdebug非常好。我前段时间用过，发现安装起来不那么容易。一旦你完成了，你就不会明白没有它你是如何做到的:-)

在Zend开发者专区有一篇很好的文章(在Linux上安装似乎并不容易)，甚至还有一个Firefox插件，我从来没用过。
