<p>Recently I came across an app called <a href="http://codebugapp.com/">CodeBug</a>, a really nice PHP debugger for
Mac. I find debugging PHP really painful within editors such as Vim or Emacs, so up until now I'd been stuck using the incredibly bloated PHPStorm.</p>
<p>On Emacs you can currently use Geben for debugging but I find it's install really painful and it's usage even more so. I figured it was worth knocking up an Emacs plugin that allows you to set breakpoints in Codebug.</p>
<p>You can find the repo <a href="https://github.com/shano/emacs-codebug">here</a> and it's been accepted to <a href="http://melpa.milkbox.net/">Mepla</a>, so it
can be installed via the package manager.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Codebug have very nicely featured this plugin on their <a href="http://codebugapp.com/">homepage</a>.</p>
