In a debug session I can see the text "Evaluating..." instead of the real value in the Variables window. I noiced it happens only when the variables size is big enough. Example to reproduce: debug_eval.php <?php $var = <<<TXT Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam mi nisl, euismod quis ornare fringilla, placerat at magna. Donec gravida erat viverra lacus interdum quis scelerisque diam dignissim. Nunc elementum venenatis tristique. Ut ut nisi vitae ipsum laoreet sollicitudin. Integer varius ultrices vestibulum. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Vestibulum sodales odio nec tellus eleifend faucibus. Cras ut eros quam, id dignissim sem. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Aliquam sem nulla, elementum eu placerat ac, placerat a diam. Vivamus vestibulum odio a diam commodo ultrices. Fusce ultricies sagittis est. Vivamus scelerisque malesuada commodo. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Aliquam suscipit justo nec neque placerat vitae vulputate libero tincidunt. Maecenas in sem eu odio pretium porta vitae sit amet erat. Donec ultricies justo at nisl vulputate condimentum. Nulla facilisi. Nulla facilisi. Sed congue rhoncus ligula eget rutrum. Suspendisse non nunc ut nisi sodales suscipit eget vel leo. Curabitur vulputate faucibus est sed aliquam. Aenean eget sem est. Integer fringilla feugiat tempor. Fusce ornare malesuada lectus, eleifend elementum dui lobortis sed. Pellentesque nulla felis, sollicitudin ac sodales at, fringilla non lacus. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Quisque nec lacus felis, non sodales tellus. TXT; exit; // add breakpoint here and look at $var ?> Workaround: To make netbeans show the value, click on the "..." button on the right. Now close the opened window with Cancel button. After that you should see the actual value. Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.1.2 (Build 201204101705) Operating System = Linux version 3.2.0-26-generic running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_24 Runtime = OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 20.0-b12
Will look at it for 7.3. But P3 since it has a simple workaround (to click on a field in a table...).
*** Bug 200481 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Note for me: Simple fix is to increase the DbgpMessage.MAX_PACKET_SIZE, but have to evaluate it more deeply.
Have to try to rewrite the "xdebug.var_display_max_data" option in php.ini. It could work.
I see this too, my work arounds are: 1) step to the next line, usually the value will be exposed at that point 2) open and close the view dialog popup a few times to view the value, it will usually update the actual value from evaluating... along the way would be nice to have it fixed though, I'll try the MAX_PACKET_SIZE fix as well since this problem usually surfaces on ginormus variables
Fixed together with issue #230764 You can set the value of max data in Options -> PHP -> Debugging tab.
