In $test = time();, there is no effect at the direct breakpoint. You need to break at $application->run() and then step into the effect. Why?
I expect the breakpoints directly on the Controller to work; I have no problem using other frameworks like Laravel.
index.php
$application->bootstrap();
$application->run();
Test.php
class TestController extends Yaf_Controller_Abstract
{
public function indexAction($name = "Stranger") {
$test = time();
}
}
