    This must be the right place to get advice on this:

    Can you recommend some good PHP testing and debugging software. Maybe something I can run on my local PC. Some kind of tool that will let you visually trace variables and emulate web server and database functions maybe..

    I'm a little new to PHP so excuse me if I'm stumbling over my terms above.

    Thanks in advance..

    Instead of emulating you can actually run apache/php on your localhost all you have to do is install it.

    Eclipse PDT can use Zend debugger and XDebug, but I couldn't setup these. I used Eclipse debugger for Java and it's brilliant, so if anybody can use these tools just let me know.
