About this Documentation

phpdbg was originally a standalone project before it was integrated into PHP 5.6, with documentation at phpdbg.com. These docs were taken down after phpdbg was merged into PHP, but still provide a useful resource.

This site is based on the documentation originally available at phpdbg.com.
