Can't use Xdebug to debug Code Igniter App using Netbeans 6.8 IDE
I couldn't find the article linked to above ... but managed to piece together various old posts and other articles to come up with a codeigniter/netbeans/xdebug solution http://wjmceachran.com/articles/70-codeigniter-and-netbeans.html
Looks like the same issue was solved here. Per that question's accepted answer, be sure you have the following set in your config file:
$config['uri_protocol'] = "PATH_INFO";$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
After a while of research and testing i came across this article.
http://brettic.us/2009/11/07/developing-php-on-a-mac-with-netbeans/
where it says and shows and to use the xdebug Firefox plugin with xDebug in your local server installation and NetBeans enabling you to debug your Code Igniter project without the need to turn on Query Strings in your Code Igniter config settings.
Really easy to use actually. Hope that helped others that were having the same problem.
