Debug with php built-in web server

I've managed to debug using the php built-in web server, but I've noticed that there is no redirect to output window in IDE.
Everything works fine (breakpoints, call stack, locals, watch...) except taht in case of any error the IDE shows nothing and I have to switch to the console window of web server where I can find the details for the error.

Is that normal? Is there any way to redirect and manage errors to the "output" and "errors" windows inside the IDE ?

I'm using PHP 5.6.11 Non_Thread_Safe and tried starting the bulit-in web server this way:

Code:

php -S localhost:80 -t c:\path   o
oot\docs 

and also with -e switch (extended information for debugger) with no success

Code:

php -S localhost:80 -t c:\path   o
oot\docs -e

Thanks in advance

Ok, Thanks!

Just in case anyone is interested in debugging with php built-in webserver I post here my configuration.

My PHP version : 5.6.19 NTS (Non Thread Safe) on Windows x64

Codelobster preferences ->Debugger -> Settings :

Code:

- Virtual folder : C:\php\web (i put here my web files)
- Virtual host URL : http://localhost
- Path to php.ini : C:\php
- Web Server : Empty
- Php Version : PHP_5.6.x_VC11_x64_Non_Thread_Safe
- Port : 6000

Then press "Apply" and after that press "Install Debugger".
If everything is ok your php.ini should have been modified with these lines at the end:

Code:

[CLDbg]
extension=php_cl_dbg_5_6_VC11_nts_x64.dll
clport=6000

Now you can start your php webserver with this command line (I use a bat file for easy of use):

Code:

c:\php\php.exe -S localhost:80 -t c:\php\web

Happy coding out there!
