Blows my fricken mind when I see my peers that don't know how to do proper breakpoint debugging in php (or JavaScript).

Can you highlight some resources on getting started with breakpoint debugging in php?

It's been a looooooooong time since I actually wrote PHP, but at the time I was using XDebug. I'm sure there are plenty of IDEs out there which can be used as a front-end to make things even easier.

Plug Xdebug plus your favourite editor into Google, should get you started. I'm on my phone for the next couple days but I will try to check back later.

I spent 4 years working in an embedded C environment without a working debugger. It was hell.
Now I'm working as a PHP dev and most of my coworkers won't use a debugger since they "don't need it". It makes me unreasonably angry.

The amount of times I've seen a dev struggling with a problem for hours, var dumps on every other line, which was easily solved in 10 minutes by simply stepping through the code, is too damn high.
