From Codewalkers.com today there's a new note about a handy little tool they discovered - the Gubed PHP Debugger.

Here's a very cool utility I came across - Gubed PHP Debugger. This debugger does not require that you modify your web server or PHP installation. Basically it is a script that acts as a go between for the script you wish to debug and a client (Windows or Linux) that you run on your desktop. You can step through code, watch variables, and set breakpoints.

If you are looking for a free debugger this may be it for you. This debugger is especially good for those in a shared hosting environment where you can't modify you php installation.

You can do all of the normal operations - set watch points, step through the script, and place breakpoints to help you narrow down where the issue is. And, best of all, it's free! So, head on over and give it a shot...
