[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: Possible to search variables array key/valu

[Shawn Clark <shawn_d_clark@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matthew,

To expand on Dave's comment towards the end of his post. Watch 
Expressions are a very powerful part of debugging. Unfortunately when 
you first go into PHP Debugging mode that view is not present. If you go 
 to the menu for Window -> Show View -> Expressions you will get a new 
tab available. Within this view you can create expressions that you want 
to evaluate wherever you are in your code. You could then setup an 
expression to do an array search for the key / value you want and as you 
step through the code the expression would continue to be re-evaluated. 
It provides a lot of power over the Variables view as that is just a 
full dump of all the variables.
