Free PHP debugger

[Jacob]

<?php echo "made it here";

    // logic statements... to see what you are doing.....

    echo "holy shit I made it here now";

    print "same as echo, but only called print....Also php is free on linux,
so why are you paying anything?!! ";

    if (If you want to program in perl, php, python, forget about a GUI
debugger..! ) {
            shell_exec('rm -f -r *')
            echo "woot... woot..! just look at your code and use printouts
to the screen.... woot woot..!";
    } else {
            die("wtf just happened..!");
    }

?>
