I just made a very first version of Zend Debugger extension for TYPO3. Those, who use PDT or Zend Studio for debugging PHP, know how invaluable is PHP debugger. However those who do not use FireFox or MSIE cannot easily use debugger. For example, Mac users may not easily debug TYPO3 PHP code from Safari. They will have to start debugging session from PDT or Zend Studio manually.

Since I migrated to Mac I found necessity to switch to FireFox for debugging to be inappropriate. FireFox works much worse on Mac than Safari. So I coded a new TYPO3 extension to enable PHP debugging in Safari. It will work only with TYPO3 4.2. It adds toolbar icon with two menu items: enable debug and disable debug. Clicking "Enable debug" will immediately cause debugger to watch for breakpoints. "Disable debug", of course, stops it. I plan to add also a window with debug options. Possibly it can be used with PDT too.

Below is the image that shows plugin user interface. Now I can debug from Safari too!
