How to Debug PHP side in an AIR application?

I have an AIR application which uses RemoteObject to comunicate with remote services in 开发者_StackOverflow中文版PHP (using Zend AMF).

The application works great, but I can't debug the PHP side (the Flex debugger works fine, the PHP side is the problem).

I'm using Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP, when I write a Web Application (not AIR), I can choose to debug the application as "Web (PHP) Application", and the breakpoints in the PHP side are working as expected.

But I can't see any similar option for Desktop Applications (AIR).

Does somebody know if it's possible (and how) to debug the PHP side in an AIR application?

Use something like xdebug, or PHPStorm. Start a debug session, capture the service id (available in the GUI interface for both) and send an additional header on all requests from your AIR app to include XDEBUG_SESSION: .

the debuging process actually the same. run your amf service in debug mode, just put breakpoint anywhere you like. whenever air application doing a service call, then the process will automatically stop at the breakpoint.
