Re:Ask HN: How often do you use a debugger? by shane-armstrong on Wednesday May 23, 2012 @10:48AM (#4013282)
I use an echo'd statement or the "or die" function when using PHP, I just find it easier for me, as I am used to the error messages.

PHP at compile time has it's own built in error warnings (for those unlucky enough to get PARSE ERROR as often as I do) which can be useful, although for loops the line it finds the error on can sometimes be completely wrong, and normally derivative of another error.
