Assigning a New Value to a Variable

Zend Studio allows you to manually add values to variables or watches, as needed. You can use this functionality to reduce iterations, force an error or test a value.

To Assign a New Value to a Variable:

1. In the Variable tab, right click on a variable item and select Assign Value from the menu.
   The Assign Value dialog box appears.  

2. Enter the new variable into the New Value box and click OK.  

To Assign a New Value to a Watch:

1. In the Watches tab, right click on a variable item and select Assign Value from the menu.
   The Assign Value dialog box appears.

2. Enter the new variable into the New Value box and click OK.  

Note:

Values can also determine the debugger's behavior by adding variables in debugger stopping points (such as in a breakpoint).
