title: How to debug PHP Web Application using Aptana
body: <p>This feels like a really stupid question, but I cannot find any YouTube videos / articles / guides / etc that explain the debugging process in Aptana. </p>
  
  <p>I've found the ones that explain how to install the XDEBUG or ZEND components, and that's all good. Now, how do I use them? I can see all sorts of menus, server configurations, debug configurations, but I cannot find a guide that explains how to actually set about using them. </p>
  
  <p>Is there some sort of "PHP debugging  with Aptana for dummies" that would provide a very direct walkthrough, something along the lines of: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>This guide starts by assuming you have installed XDEBUG into your Aptana studio, and confirmed it with phpinfo().</li>
  <li>Setup a debug configuration by....</li>
  <li>Start your debugger by ....</li>
  <li>Step through the code by ....</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>and so on.  </p>
  
  <p>It sounds so obvious, but I cannot even find something like that for a different IDE. </p>
  
  <p>Please someone put me out of my misery. </p>
