xdebug setup PHP debugging

I have my x debug some what working Ubuntu 11.10 I installed xdebug through apt-get. These are the instructions I followed: http://molecularsciences.org/articles/installing_xdebug_on_ubuntu_10.x_or_ubuntu_11.x

I am having though some difficulties getting certain things to work and have some oddities I can not fix. I have Googled my little heart out before asking.

Problem one: If I execute a script with PHP (for example, $php index.php), the script stays paused until I attach a debugger and hit run. I can not find any options to tell xdebug not to pause unless a break point or exception occurs.

Problem two: No matter what I seem to try I can not trigger the debugger from the browser. The cookie is being set by Xdebug and the xdebug variable on the server seems to match the value of the cookie.

Please HELP! I am bugging out. A list of things to check would be of great assistance.

Is your IDE on the same computer as the web server? If not you need to change this xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 to your ip. – Danilo Kobold

Problem one:

The Pause is not controlled by xdebug but by the client thru dbgp

on eclipse you can:

from http://devzone.zend.com/1147/debugging-php-applications-with-xdebug/

You will not see output in the browser window yet, because Eclipse by default pauses script execution on the first line of the script, as if a breakpoint were set on this line. If you want to disable this behaviour, uncheck the Break at First Line checkbox in the Breakpoint section from the debug dialog configuration window.

And if you are using netbeans you can

preferences > php > debugging

and uncheck the "Stop at first line". I don't know about how to do it on other editors but ultimately thats and editor behavior, not xdebug.

Problem two: I'v experienced this issue a few times and fixed with a browser extension.
