OpenShift PHP debug with Eclipse

https://developers.openshift.com/languages/php/getting-started.html

To do so in Eclipse you need install OpenShift Eclipse plugin securely.

Add development environment variable

Restart your application

citation from developers.openshift.com:

If you do so, OpenShift will run your application under 'development' mode. In development mode, your application will:

• Show more detailed errors in browser
• Display startup errors
• Enable the Xdebug PECL extension
• Enable APC stat check
• Ignore your composer.lock file (if applicable)

Using the development environment can help you debug problems in your application in the same way as you do when developing on your local machine. However, we strongly advise you not to run your application in this mode in production.
