[mapguide-users] Debugging tools

[Jason Birch]

So there was a PHP error that was not returning?

I believe that the php.ini file that ships with MapGuide has error
reporting turned off.  If you turn it on, maybe you would get what you
need in your case?

Are there any debugging tools for MapGuide OS? When I add an enhancement
to an existing sample, the enhancement does not appear but there is no
indication from the application where the problem lies.

For example, recently I set out to add point redlining to the line
redlining sample, draw_line.php, modifying the code from
create_new_point_layer_definition.php and adding it to draw_line.php.
However, the map continued to redline the lines, but not the points,
with no debug messages.

I got deep into the code and realized I had to add a PointTypeStyle
section to the layerDefinition. I could find nothing in the
documentation or in the output of the program to indicate that this was
the problem. It took me several hours to do this.

I think that developers who want to use the MapGuide APIs should not
have to get into the code at the level of a core developer in order to
use it. I suspect that many would not have the time to do that. A
debugging tool would be most helpful.
