debugging PHP code

[knellim]

Hello All,
I am trying to test a PHP web application. I have installed Eclipse on a Centos machine. I am running a Apache web server.
The problem I am facing is that the code has exit commands at few places and whenever I am debugging the code and the exit command is encountered, the debugging stops. I want restart my debugging from the point I left with POST values.
Can anyone pls help my how to debug the code in these scenarios.

so while your debugging you don't want the code todo what it's suppose it?

Why can't you just comment out the exit calls? or the condition that leads to them?

The problem is in my web application, there is a main page index.php. So every time this page gets loaded/refreshed based on a variable $mode which is passed as GET parameter. After every page load, the database is disconnected and exit is done.
So, initially, this page gets loaded as login page. It waits for username,password sent as POST data.
The thing is even if I comment out exit, the next pages(ie -pages after login page) are not debugged. I mean i cant see the debugger hitting any line of code after I press Login button in Login form.

I am not sure as how event handling is done and debugging of web pages is done in PHP. So, I am basically not able to understand this!

Please help! Its very important! let me know if any input!

I am not familiar with Eclipse,
but you can debug yourself by simply running the script in a browser after adding simple echo statements to output variable and $_POST values.

Not really understanding OP's question. Anyhoo, check out xdebug.
