But at least I know why things aren't working! Hi Aaron,

However, this post is about run-as and not necessarily about debugging (there is a subtle difference, yet it is a difference). I hope to soon be posting some more info on the differences.

I am just a newbie to php and when debugging a script with eclipse/zend debugger I am getting an error because some of the _SERVER variables namely HTTP_HOST have not been set. I noticed in your examples that when you ran the script through your browser all the _SERVER variables were set correctly but when you ran your script using the debugger - they weren't set; unless they just aren't shown here. If I run the script I am working with in the browser - all goes well, but if I debug it, it quits because HTTP_HOST is not set. I'll try move the debugger to where my binary is, change to my binary and see if it helps. Any other ideas? Thanks, Scott. Hi Aaron,

If my opinion, if you're using break points, you probably want to be in the debug perspective anyhow. Brian: I haven't used the standard debugging features that much. Its in my to-do list to figure out the pros and cons of each. You can use the Zend Debugger, XDebug and also DBG (I believe DBG needs an additional plugin, however). Big Boy:

If all you need to do is look for compile errors, the only real benefit to doing it internally in PDT would be less clicks (I'm lazy like you :o) I think that the benefit comes in when you use breakpoints to monitor the actual execution of scripts.
