[Bug 945615] Re: XDebug PHP version compatibility issue

[sry but private]

The packages

libapache2-mod-php5 (PHP Version 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.14)
php5-xdebug (2.0.5-1ubuntu1)

delivered with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS don't work properly. Xdebug provides an
interface to IDEs like netbeans or eclipse. This interface is broken.
Normally it is possible to display the values of variables with Xdebug.
But version 2.0.x fails to do so. Version 2.1.x and 2.2.x work properly
as I experienced. Xdebug 2.3.x produces another bug because it is
written for higher PHP versions than 5.3.2.

There are 3 options:

1. Replace Xdebug package with 2.1.x or 2.2.x
2. Replace PHP and Xdebug 2.3.x and 5.3.9/5.4.x respectively
3. Ask people to help themselves (by compiling their own version of XDebug and PHP)

I would recommend option 1, because it has minimal side effects. To lift
PHP versions is risky. I myself was punished a lot for updating PHP only
for having the newest version.
