Re: getting php debug working in vim / gvim

Hi coffeecup (or whoever you are..)

I tried it one year ago.
Get Eclipse and PDT and use it for debugging only.
You'll get features such as:
- Var list (which is updated automatically)
- stack lists where you can jump to items
(updating the vars depending on stack position)

It just works. If you start using Vim for this task you have to learn
Python to fix the code and adjust the mappings. You also have to fiddle
with the layout etc.

At least I spend as much time on the Vim debugger as I spend on finding
the problem. Using Eclipse the time I spend on debugging is equal to the
time I spend starting Eclipse..

Sorry to tell you about my experience.
Using Vim for debugging purposes usually doesn't work as well as using
other tools.
Nevertheless I use Vim for coding..
