Hello,
i have managed to setup Eclipse PDT -xdebug-Wamp reading the various book posts under development. I have also installed the plug-in Drupal for eclipse.
I have set a breakpoint to index.php and another one inside user.pages.inc in function user_pass_validate but i cannot step into the function?
Can somebody tell how to set breakpoints in modules function and step into them?
Is it a matter of xdebug?
Should i use zend debugger instead?
Thanks

I see
no one has answered this. I use xdebug in a different editor (tswebeditor) and it works fine. I have to add this to the url, ?XDEBUG_START_SESSION=tswebeditor. You might have some luck with ?XDEBUG_START_SESSION=eclipsepdt
php.ini settings can effect this also, here are the ones I have. I comment some in/out if I can't get it working.
zend_extension_ts="c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.11\ext\php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.2-vc6.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_port=9000
;xdebug.auto_trace = On
xdebug.collect_params = 4
xdebug.collect_return = On
xdebug.collect_vars = On
xdebug.default_enable = On
;xdebug.remote_autostart = On
xdebug.dump_once = On
xdebug.dump_undefined = On
xdebug.trace_format = 0
xdebug.trace_output_dir = c:\wamp\tmp
xdebug.trace_output_name = trace.txt
;xdebug.extended_info = On
I have tried eclipse several times and given up in despair, too java-ish, huge .... I know it is well regarded and frequently recommended, but I have something that works for me that is way smalller and written in Delphi so windows only.

Had the same problem but solved
I had exactly the same problem. This document helped me to solve it http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/documents/XDebugGuideForPDT2.0.pdf. I use Eclipse for PHP Developers, Version: Helios Service Release 2
Build id: 20110301-1815, XAMPP, php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.3-vc6.dll. The only thing I had to change according the
documentation was using zend_extension instead of zend_extension_tx in php.ini. I configured it with
XDebug for Firefox add-on. All works fine now.
Good luck.
this may help
I had the problem where I was able to stop at breakpoints in .php files and .inc files, but the debugger would not stop in the .module files.
I found this on the Eclipse forum: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/43630/?srch=debug+php+xdebug+d.... The post has a three point checklist. The one about making sure that "the drupal files were fully imported into my project" did the trick for me. I had to move the files out of the project, and then import them back. I don't know why this worked but I can now put break points inside my .module files and the debugger will stop there.
I hope this will help someone else. I've been searching the drupal.org site and the eclipse site for a solution.
Thanks to noah_ten.yahoo.com on the Eclipse forum!

Worked for me in similar lines
It worked for me in similar lines. I added few folders (modules) in file system and used "Refresh" menu (after right-click) on the root of the project. It did show me the newly added modules, but the breakpoint was never triggering. I deleted the whole project and newly added the PHP project after which the breakpoints were recognized! Surely some bug in Eclipse but this is what we have to live with!
