Eclipse is a great open-source and free tool to manage your programming projects.
I have been using eclipse for my java and php projects. Xdebug is an awesome debugging tool you can use with eclipse to debug your php code.
I assume you are using xampp linux and you have set the server at /opt/lampp location.
Requiremnts:
eclipse classic/eclipse for php developers installation 3.6.1.
At first we shall install xdebug as an extension of php
1. Download the source code from http://www.xdebug.org/
2.unzip the tar file and move in to the directory.
Now we will use the phpize utility in your /opt/lampp/bin/phpize location
if it shows error like "segmentation fault", Run in the terminal sudo apt-get install php-dev
Xdebug website has an amazing insturction page. check it here
http://www.xdebug.org/docs/install
Don't forget to check the following wizard:
http://www.xdebug.org/find-binary.php
After following the instruction you will have installed xdebug which you can check by the phpinfo();
