Using Ecplise PDT & xdebug for debugging PHP scripts, it seems a duplicate of the configured php.ini file is automatically created, adding a couple of lines at the end of the copy. This has been exposed in another thread
This is a real problem in my case because a "hardcoded config" includes a memory_limit set to 256Mb while some of my scripts expect to have up to 1G, as I have configured in all the php.ini environments I'm working on.
A "fix" would of course be to add a ini_set() call to all scripts involved but I don't consider this as an acceptable solution to cope with a surprising behaviour of PDT!
I have searched for xdebug options and played with Eclipse startup settings such as -XX:MaxPermSize, without success.
I cannot debug some of the scripts that require lot of memory except by temporarly adding the ini_set() call.
If anybody can help modify the 256M option or even better get rid of this extra line of config added to the session ini file, that would be of a great help.
This was a pdt bug and has been fixed. Test build available in nightly repo, will be released together with Eclipse 4.5.1 (PDT 3.6)
