Set Up PHP Development Environment

archives, web development

Notes of Set up PHP development environment

  1. Install Eclipse PDT;
  2. Install PEAR and PECL on Mac OS X, php.ini locate in /etc on Yosemite;

  3. Install Xdebug through PEAR/PECL;
    Addition configure for Yosemite

    • sudo cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini
    • add “zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/xdebug.so” to php.ini

  4. Debugging Local PHP Files (PHP CLI Application)

    • Create a PHP project;
    • Create a PHP file;
    • Set a breakpoint in PHP file;
    • Save file;
    • Create a new debug configuration;
      • Eclipse > Preference… > PHP Executables > Add (Executable path: which php)
      • Run > Debug Configurations > Select PHP CLI Application > New

  5. Debugging PHP Web Applications (PHP Web Application)

    • Create a PHP project;
    • Create a PHP file;
    • Create a new debug configuration;
      • Run > Debug Configurations > Select PHP Web Application > New

  6. Test with PHPUnit

    • Run > External Tools > External Tools Configurations… > Program > New [Main] Location:/usr/local/bin/phpunit Working Directory:${workspace_loc:/Backend/tests} Apply > Run Reference

  7. Integrate MakeGood (failure)

    • Installing Prerequisite Software
      • PHP 5.5.27 (cli)
      • xdebug-2.3.2
      • eclipse mars(4.5.0)
      • PDT(3.5.0)
      • PHPUnit (4.8.6)

    • Installing MakeGood Help -> Install New Software… -> Add… -> http://eclipse.piece-framework.com/

    • Selecting a Testing Framework

    • Resolving the Dependencies to the Testing Framework

        * Defining User Libraries
      Eclipse -> Preferences... > PHP -> PHP Libraries > New... > OK
      Add External folder... > [Verifying the include path](http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.checking.php)
  * Adding User Libraries to the Project

      fail with PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase class is not available. Fix…, I doubt that MakeGood doesn’t support eclipse mars.

    *Testing Framework Specific Configuration
    PHPUnit

     * Open the properties for the project.
 * Select MakeGood.
 * Select PHPUnit.
 * Specify the XML Configuration File. [eg](http://beagile.biz/a-simple-phpunit-xml-configuration-example/)

    Reference

Throw java.lang.NullPointerException when create a new debug configuration

Solution: Add a PHP Executable, Eclipse > Preference… > PHP Executables > Add (Executable path: which php)

Wait for XDebug session

Solution:Debugging PHP Web Applications时卡在这里，原因是XDebug remote debug没配置好，参考了Remote Debugging和Debugging using XDebug，发现phpinfo()输出的内容并没有XDebug。于是来开始配置php.ini,参考的How to set default php.ini to be used, OSX Yosemite
