ulimit -c unlimited So you can enable core files, the debug mode in PHP just stops optimizations and stripping of symbols producing a more useful core file. Scott

the file is executing. However, I do not see one. I've even run the command as sudo ($ sudo php /file.php) to make sure PHP has the permissions to write the file.

# sudo gdb php gdb> r /file.php This way you don't need any core files at all.

Thanks guys :)
