Trace and debug PHP code

Question

Can somebody tell me how can php code be traced on a distant webserver? I tried with xdebug but I cannot find php.ini and other configuration files?

Thank you very much in advance!

Answer 1

Have you enabled the remote debug functionality in XDebug?

You need an IDE that integrates with xdebug remote debug, like Netbeans 7.
