The PHP Debugger

The Enterprise Architect PHP Debugger enables you to debug PHP.exe scripts. This section discusses basic setup and the various debugging scenarios that are commonly encountered; the scenarios concern themselves with the mapping of file paths, which is critical to the success of a remote debugging session.

Script Setup

An Analyzer Script is a basic requirement for debugging in Enterprise Architect; you create a script using the toolbar of the Execution Analyzer

Select PHPXDebug as the debugging platform; when you select this platform the property page displays the following connection settings:

Field

Value

Meaning

port

9000

The port that Enterprise Architect listens on for the specified adaptor

host

localhost

The adaptor that Enterprise Architect listens on for incoming connections from PHP

localpath

%LOCAL%

Specifies the local file path to be mapped to a remote file path

This is a remote debugging setting; for local debugging, clear the value

The value is a placeholder; you should edit it to fit your particular scenario

remotepath

%REMOTE%

Specifies the remote file path that a local file path is to be mapped to

This is a remote debugging setting; for local debugging, clear the value

The value is a placeholder; you should edit it to fit your particular scenario

 

 

Local Machine Apache Server

In this situation, consider the following configuration:

  • O/S: Windows7
  • Network computer name: MyPC
  • Network share MyShare mapped to c:\myshare
  • Source files in Enterprise Architect have been imported from c:\myshare\apache\myapp\scripts
  • Apache document root is set to //MyPC/MyShare/apache

In this scenario an Analyzer Script for the connection parameters might be configured as follows:

  • host: localhost
  • port: 9000
  • localpath: c:\myshare\apache\
  • remotepath: MyPC/MyShare/apache/
     

 

Local Machine PHP.EXE

In this scenario an Analyzer Script for the connection parameters might be configured as follows, as file paths always map to same physical path:

  • host: localhost
  • port: 9000
  • localpath:
  • remotepath:
     

 

Remote Linux Machine Apache Server

In this situation consider the following configuration:

  • Local Machine
  • O/S: Windows7
  • Source files in  Enterprise Architect have been imported from c:\myshare\apache\myapp\scripts
  • Remote Machine
  • O/S: Linux
  • Apache document root is set to home/apache/htdocs
  • Source files in Apache are located at home/apache/htdocs/myapp/scripts

In this scenario an Analyzer Script for the connection parameters might be configured as follows:

  • host: localhost
  • port: 9000
  • localpath: c:\myshare\apache\
  • remotepath: home/apache/htdocs/
     

 

Remote Linux Machine PHP.exe

In this situation consider the following configuration:

  • Local Machine
  • O/S: Windows7
  • Source files in Enterprise Architect have been imported from c:\myshare\apache\myapp\scripts
  • Remote Machine
  • O/S: Linux
  • Source files in Apache located at home/myapp/scripts

In this scenario an Analyzer Script for the connection parameters might be configured as follows:

  • host: localhost
  • port: 9000
  • localpath: c:\myshare\apache\
  • remotepath: home/
