There's a new version of Xdebug released which fixes a major bug where inspecting static properties caused Xdebug to crash in XAMPP 1.8.0.

Unfortunately, you’ll need to update manually the version of Xdebug shipped with XAMPP to Xdebug 2.2.1 rather than 2.2.0:

Simply download the correct Xdebug binary (VC9 threadsafe PHP 5.4 VC9 TS (64 bit) (MD5: 81cacc87168c99c7f65ba202dc12c4b2)) and copy it in your XAMPP installation at xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll

restart Apache and you can continue debugging!

A small how to install PHPUnit via PEAR in an XAMPP running on a windows box. A prerequisite for a continuous build strategy.

PHPUnit is a member of the xUnit family of testing frameworks and provides both a framework that makes the writing of tests easy as well as the functionality to easily run the tests and analyze their results.

• Planet PHPUnit
• Sebastian Bergmann (creator of PHPUnit)

Installing XAMPP

• Download XAMPP from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
• Unpack the zip, don't run any installer, just use the \xampp\xampp-control.exe to control the component (so the whole XAMPP directory can be moved to another drive without having absolute paths in all configurations files)

Installing PEAR

• Execute  \xampp\php\go-pear.bat and follow the onscreen instructions. The installation will modify the include_path in your php.ini file.
• Execute \xampp\php\PEAR_ENV.reg to add PEAR to the windows registry

More screen shots here

phpUnderControl is an add-on application for the continuous integration tool CruiseControl, which integrates some of the best PHP development tools. This project aims to make your first steps with CruiseControl and PHP as easy as possible. Therefore phpUnderControl comes with a command line tool that performs all modifications to an existing CruiseControl installation. My objective is to be able to set up this server and provide you all an access to the build result for my component.

• Testing and software metrics

  PHPUnit is the most popular xUnit implementation for PHP that provides a framework for automated
  software tests. Except the pure test automation PHPUnit contains a rich set of features like
  Code Coverage, Project Mess Detection and Software Metrics. To visualize the generated XML reports
  phpUnderControl comes with a set of XSL stylesheets that prepare the output for CruiseControl.

• Documentation

  phpUnderControl uses the most common documentation tool for PHP projects, PhpDocumentor, to generate
  an up to date documentation of the software on every build cycle. Therefore the developers will always get
  the latest API documentation of their project. Additionally phpUnderControl extracts the documentation
  violations found by the PhpDocumentor and visualizes these as an additional quality report in the user
  interface and the project time line of documentation violations.

• Coding Standards

  With the package PHP_CodeSniffer the PEAR project gave PHP developers a very useful tool to detect coding
  standard violations in a project. Since version 1.0.0RC3 it has native support for the Checkstyle XML format
  that can be visualized by CruiseControl. PHP_CodeSniffer comes with a variety of pre defined coding standards
  like PEAR and ZEND but due to its modular structure you can easily implement a custom rule set or extend one
  of the pre defined sets. This development tool assures that the whole project code will remain clean and
  consistent.
