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

To trigger the debugger the simplest solution is to use the cookie approach -b XDEBUG_SESSION=ECLIPSE_DBGP worked for me on eclipse, see below:

curl  -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
      -b XDEBUG_SESSION="ECLIPSE_DBGP" \
      -X POST \
      -d '{"uid":200, "message":"asdsad","message_type":1}'
