Interactive Debugger for PHP


If you're looking for a free (zero-dollar) debugger for PHP, I've stumbled onto the combination of Xdebug installed onto the server and MacGDBp on my workstation. My favorite part is that I don't need to have a copy of the source tree on my workstation to do source-level debugging. It's transferred to me on demand by the magic of DBGP.

UPDATE: If you don't mind dropping a little money, I've been happy with the debugger in PHPStorm. You still need Xdebug installed on the PHP server for PHPStorm to interact with it.
