Can anyone suggest a good debugging package for PHP?

Question

I use firebug and smarty, so I get good debugging data from this, but I would also like to see the database query time and page processing time.

Answer 1

Xdebug is very good. It works great in conjunction with the NetBeans IDE for PHP.

Answer 2

This is a great package for transferring data to firebug:

Answer 3

xdebug is awesome because it allows you to go through code checking on variables as you go.

It also allows you to perform profiling (dumps callgrind files to the directory of your choice, describing in great detail what happened, how many times, when and how much time has passed)

To take full advantage of xdebug, you need a good IDE, I suggest netbeans , but you can use any of the main packages now.

Answer 4

How many others are connected, FirePHP and Xdebug are awesome ...

But you also asked about page render times and query times.

If you are already using a framework that collects this data for you, you will need to collect it and set up a report for it.
