Debugging a multi-file PHP script using Emacs and GEBEN

My XDebug works fine on my local machine (my apache works locally) and I can fine-tune php scripts using eclipse. However, I prefer to edit files with emacs, so I came across the GEBEN package. I installed it perfectly and I can set breakpoints in my script and everything seems to work fine ...

Now I'm trying to debug the cakePHP application, and I need to set breakpoints in files other than the file loaded in emacs when geben starts. Here's what happens:

  • I am running my web server, php and all that.
  • I run emacs and run the Mx geben command. He tells me that he is now listening on port 9000
  • I am viewing the page I want to go to ( http://url?XDEBUG_SESSION_START)
  • The initial PHP file is loaded into emacs, and I can set breakpoints, step over, etc.

How to set breakpoints in files that are included from this PHP source file? I tried to open the files and start the small geben mode, but when I run the command geben-set-breakpoint-line, nothing happens.

Did I miss something?

You need to use your own team GEBEN to open file: geben-find-file.

You should find the C-c flinked one by default in existing geben buffers (which, of course, is a mistake, since this is a reserved binding, but it should work).
