using xdebug on hosted server.

I need to debug php code on a non-dedicated hosted server and donot have access to php.ini. Is there an ini file similar to .htaccess for php that can be configured?

Any other suggestion how to debug on a non-dedicated remote hosted server?

 

You can do this with .htaccess (if the AllowOverride settings in your Apache vhost configuration allows that): http://www.electrictoolbox.com/set-php-config-options-apache-htaccess-file/

 

Will it work for values like below that are outside of php normal directives. So if I am on a shared hosted server, can I use php_value to se these things?

E.g.

Code:

php_value zend_extension "/mylocaldir/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xdebug.so"
php_value xdebug.remote_enable 1
....

Here is my xdebug configuration I currently have on my dedicated server.

Code:

[Zend]

zend_extension="/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xdebug.so"

[xdebug]
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9999
xdebug.idekey=xxxx
xdebug.profiler_enable=0
xdebug.profiler_output_name=xdebug.cachegrind-out.%s.%p
xdebug.var_display_max_depth=10

 

You can try it and check the result with

PHP:

phpinfo();
