Error Reporting
Here is another PHP IDE that supports both DBG and XDebug:

You can also debug JavaScript and Php within the same debugger session.

About debugging in PHP
PHP does not have an internal debugging facility. You can use one of the external debuggers though. The » Zend IDE includes a debugger, and there are also some free debugger extensions like DBG at » http://dd.cron.ru/dbg/, the » Advanced PHP Debugger (APD) or » Xdebug.

I still find that printing out variable values at problem points in the code is one of the easiest ways for me to debug. If you're interested in knowing the full contents of an object/array/scalar, then use
var_dump($var).

Tired of manualy printing out your variables and arrays for debugging?
Take a look at my debuglib at:

Happy debugging!

I've tried many debuggers and PHP IDEs including Zend IDE, Komodo, PHPEdit, PHPEd and Maguma Studio.
After all I'm sure that the best one debugger is dbg. It supports breakpoints even conditional ones, all kind of steps throu php code, watch etc, so it's a fully functional debugger indeed and profiler too. Fortunately, it's an open-source product as PHP itself. Unfortunately, it does not contain any front-end, but 3rd party PHP IDEs. Seems, as for an IDE the best one is PHPEd 3.1 (http://www.phped.com), former PHP IDE from Ergin Soysal.
I was also deeply impressed with IonCube accelerator performance (http://www.ioncube.com). Commercial version of IONCUBE is many times faster than the commercial one from Zend (www.zend.com). Huh ?
Hope this info would help someone to find the better way faster.

check out this great, cross-platform, my favourite php debugger:
http://www.activestate.com/Products/Komodo/
it not only allows "debugging PHP programs locally or remotely, including debugging in CGI or other Web Server API environments", but, besides, is a full fledged Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl, and XSLT IDE. based on mozilla.
current version 1.2.9 costs some money ($29.50 non commercial), previous version 1.1 is free (non commercial).
