Hi Joe, Congrats on launching this debugger interface. I’ve actually been thinking for some time that it’d be incredibly useful to have something like this in the core distribution of PHP. Is this something that would be interesting for you to work towards? What do others think? Andi P.S. - It wasn’t clear to me what the “quiet” flag does but I would air on the side of not showing opcodes by default but have an option where they are shown, and in that case, potentially show even more detail [that can easily be contributed.

Evening All, A couple of us are working on a debugging platform, in order to deploy on windows we require a few more functions to be declared ZEND_API: https://gist.github.com/krakjoe/7456833 If it's not going to cause any disruption, could we merge that into master please ??

Morning Andi, Thanks :) Pending the opinion of everyone else; but YES, definitely interested in working toward that ... We do indeed air on the side of caution with quietness enabled by default. The only time quietness is ignored is while stepping, when it's useful to show the oplog regardless. We do intend for the oplog to be a decent representation of the opline, I've had some luck representing op arrays in a human understandable way while working on explain(): http://explain.so/explain.php?uri=https://raw.github.com/ircmaxell/PHPPHP/master/php.php explain() has a problem in copying [printing] (some) literal constants that I've not yet been able to trace, so didn't want to introduce the same bug here ... No RFC exists, I'd be happy to create one at some point if we're discussing inclusion, and it's necessary for one to exist ... Cheers Joe
