Using XDebug to trace a PHP web service page

Question

I\'m using Eclipse and XDebug to develop a PHP application that relies on web services. I have test pages that consume my services in 2 ways: AJAX (using jQuery) and cURL.

Answer 1

Here is tip on how to trigger Xdebugger client from Curl without browser:

1- From command line:

curl -H "Cookie: XDEBUG_SESSION=1" http://YOUR-SITE.com/your-script.php

2- From PHP

So it doesn't matter if you attach "XDEBUG_SESSION=1" to CURL URL, but what is necessary is to send a proper cookie together with request.
