Debugging/Profiling from Z-Ray

This procedure describes how to use Z-Ray to initiate a debugging/profiling session for a URL request in an IDE.

Note:

To use the Z-Ray, the page you are inspecting must be located on your Web server, and the Z-Ray needs to be enabled. For more information on enabling the Z-Ray, see Enabling/Disabling the Z-Ray.

PhpStorm:

Before initiating a debugging/profiling session from Z-Ray, make sure PhpStorm is listening to debug connections. For more information, see PhpStorm documentation.

To debug/profile a page using Z-Ray:

Open your page in a browser.
As soon and the page loads, Z-Ray is displayed at the bottom of the page.
Click the Debug icon , and select one of the options from the menu:
- Debug current page - debugs the page currently open in the browser
- Debug next page - a debugging session is launched when the next link is clicked, a form is posted, or an AJAX request is executed).
- Debug all forms (POST) - a debugging session will be launched every time a link is clicked, a form is posted or an AJAX request is executed using the POST method.
- Debug all pages - debugs all pages from the current page.
Important:
These action items are only available if the IDE is installed on your machine, and Zend Server is configured to communicate with it. For more information, see Setting Up Debugging.
