A programmer must be able to configure his debugger.

Use xdebug, and a IDE that does it, for example Komodo IDE.

The xdebug ini looks like this:

zend_extension=/whatever/your/path/to/usr/lib/php5/20100525/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = On
xdebug.remote_host = 192.168.0.111
xdebug.idekey = ohmy

Start your IDE, configure "listen for debugger connections on port 9000".

Go to your browser, enter your URL like this:
http://mysite.example.com/index.html?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=ohmy

Now your IDE pops up a message, and on it goes in debug mode. You get at least:

buttons for single step, step over procedure, return from procedure, and run (to the
end), display areas where you see all variables of the current step scope, and a
display area for globals and superglobals.

EVERY PHP PROGRAMMER SHOULD HAVE THIS.
