I installed xdebug on remote linux server by compiling the source file.
I installed it without errors. and i could see "Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies with Xdebug v2.1.0beta1" by using phpinfo() function.

then i run the test.php file from the server shell by using "php -e test.php"
<?php
echo ("1234567890");
xdebug_break();
echo ("abcdefghijklmn");
?>
then, i got the following error message:

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.11
Content-type: text/html
1234567890

Fatal error: Call to undefined function xdebug_break() in /home2/username/public_html/debug/test.php on line 3

I opened this file in the IE and firefox windows,but i could see "1234567890abcdefghijklmn" in the page without error message.

could i test xdebug by this way?
