Debugging a URL

This procedure describes how to debug a URL on a server to which you have access.

Note:

Your server must be running the Zend Debugger in order for remote debugging and profiling capabilities to function.
The Zend Debugger comes bundled with Zend Core and Zend Platform, but can also be downloaded as a separate component from http://www.zend.com/en/products/studio/downloads.

To debug a URL:

Click the Debug URL button on the main toolbar -or- go to Run | Debug URL.
The Debug URL dialog will appear.

In the 'Open Browser at' field, enter the URL of the first page that should be debugged.
Select whether the Debugger should stop at the first line of code by marking/unmarking the 'Break at First Line' checkbox.
Click Debug.

The Debug Perspective will open with a number of views detailing information about the debugging process.

See the "Running and Analyzing Debugger results" topic for more information on the outcome of a debugging process.
