Debugging PHP in Dreamweaver

Adobe, Development, Macromedia, PHP, Windows February 18th, 2007

Dreamweaver is a great PHP development tool, and today I found an extension that makes it an even more productive development tool. IPT Solutions’ PHP Debugger extension allows developers the ability to debug their PHP directly from within the Dreamweaver environment. Straight from the site, here’s a list of what you can expect with this extension:
  • Simple and intuitive user interface.
  • Option to choose which error types you want to be reported by PHP Debugger.
  • Preview of the source, exactly where the error appears.
  • You can view 12 line above and 12 below the error line to easy locate the problem.
  • By clicking on the error line you will be located directly to the file and line of the problem.
  • Start debugging with already assigned shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+Z.
So, head on over to the PHP Debugger download page and give it a try.

    I got yesterday this file from Adobe. It works perfect on Linux (Dreamweaver8), so It must work perfect in Windows too.

    If someone use Linux ->after extension install You will be asked for location of “php.exe”, then if you have a dual boot system (like me) point to windows partition where your php server is located - then search for php.exe. Select php.exe give OK. and Voila ! …

    You can find this extension here:
