I got this working on Ubuntu/Netbeans by: copying the xdebug config lines from the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file into /etc/php5/cli/php.ini setting an environment variable with the name of the debug session (you can get this from the query string in the url of the page netbeans launches when you start debugging) so the command is: export XDEBUG_CONFIG=”idekey=netbeans-xdebug” … Read more

How to animate the command line?

February 5, 2023 by Tarik
