+++ General Debugging Tools
+
+There are many general purpose debugging tools that can be used to  
debug Horde code. Tools that the developers include, but are not  
limited to:
+
+* [http://xdebug.org/ Xdebug]: The standard debugging extension for  
PHP. Beside a few developer niceties, it allows for runtime debugging  
with breakpoint, step-by-step debugging, introspection, etc. Goes  
along with browser and IDE extensions like:
+  * Emacs extension "geben": http://code.google.com/p/geben-on-emacs/
+  * Firefox extension "Easy Xdebug": http://www.elime.be/easyxdebug.htm
+* [http://www.wireshark.org/ Wireshark]: Especially useful for  
debugging HTTP-based request to and from the Horde code.
