title: Setting break points in a PHP script (not a web page) using eclipse
body: <p>I'm running eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) with the PHP development tools (PDT) plug in. I also installed XDebug by following <a href="http://robsnotebook.com/php_debugger_pdt_xdebug" rel="nofollow noreferrer">these instructions</a>.</p>
  
  <p>It works great when I debug a web page running on localhost. I can set break points and step through the code.</p>
  
  <p>However, I can't debug a PHP script. I can run it, and I see the output from print statements in the console, but it ignores any break points. </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to debug a PHP script, or does PHP debugging only work under a web server?</p>
