I post this here because it had the most recent post of all 4 forums. I read about dev-php on the xdebug site. But when I went to http://devphp.sourceforge.net/ there are like 20 different versions there. There are a number of 2.X.X version then a number of 3.x versions. Its confusing to say the least.
So I downloaded one 2.x version 2.0.11 and I read some of the post here and found out that does not have a debugger in it. Which was the very reason I wanted to try dev-php anyway. So then I went back to the site and download 3.01(build 01) that seems to at least have and option for setting up xdebug.
What I am saying is this is a confusing mess. there needs to be some clarity.

Actually, you can set a debugger in 2.2. But setting it is not very user-friendly, and sometimes the debugger refuses to start. I am working on it, though...

Thank You for the quick response davitof. But the point I was trying to make was that there needs to be some clear and definative explanation on the web site as to what program does what. And what version/flavor does what. As it was I download both of them becasue I was not sure of what I needed.

I agree with you. I only downloaded DevPHP a few months ago and I had the same hesitations you did. Actually, I chose v2 because I was under the impression v3 did not support debugging at all!

20 versions corresponding to more than 310 revisions.

This could be the first misunderstanding. Why both versions ?
Well, Historical reasons.
07-july-2002 : The version 1.0.0 was born. Project leader was Leonardo Garcia.
01-may-2004 : A new project leader Urs Maeder replaced Leonardo, and a version 2.0.4 appeared
20-august-2004 : Surprise ! Previous project leader released version "3.00 Alpha 2"
11-september-2004 : Version 2.0.8 published
02-november-2004 : Last known version from Leonardo "3.00 Alpha 4"
09-march-2005 : Version 2.0.12
04-august-2006 : Urs has released the first 3.0.1 stable ; this is the last version 3.x
28-october-2006 : Another version was born 2.1.0, from another contributor. Actually this is the third version.
Version 3 is also known as EDI (editor only). It was exploring some new technical concepts... Not maintained.
Version 2 is also known as IDE (integrated). It is working on functionalities... This version is maintained.

The oldest version is actually the newest.
> We all need to know what program does what. And what version/flavor does what.
Could something like http://devphp.wiki.sourceforge.net/
help ?
Best regards,
