Morning Internalz,


         https://wiki.php.net/rfc/phpdbg



         As requested, an RFC for the discussion of including phpdbg in the

core distribution.


         I have kept it brief, I hope that's not a problem ...

I'm probably missing some context here, maybe you could explain how phpdbg
differs from something like xdebug? I mean, xdebug seems to be the de-facto
debugging extension for PHP and has been for a long time, but we're not
bundling it. Why should we bundle phpdbg instead?

Thanks,
Nikita



Morning,

	This is not an extension, it is a SAPI module. The build system does not support external SAPI modules, the implementation requires Zend API which is not exported (or wasn't, has since been patched).

http://php.markmail.org/search/?q=net.php.lists.internals+order%3Adate-backward+debugger#query:net.php.lists.internals%20order%3Adate-backward%20debugger+page:1+mid:emeomgmypfxuzzgy+state:results

	We originally requested that those API functions just be exported, and they have been, so it can be deployed everywhere we wanted it to be deployed ... but the response to that request was, that it would be nice to have it in the core, so an RFC exists.

Cheers
Joe
