# Debugging PHP using Xdebug and Notepad++ : Part 2

In my [previous post](http://thecancerus.com/debugging-php-using-xdebug-and-notepad-part-i/), I have shown how to configure Xdebug and Notepad++ for debugging.

In this final part, I will take some example to demonstrate and show how to use the setup to make  debugging an PHP script easier and actually fun.

Initially I thought that I will write an article, but then I thought it is better if I do a screencast. This is my first(well it is second but that was without voice long time back) and voice of the screencast is not so good, you will need a headphone to get the voice clearly.

I have shown the debugging using a [Joomla](http://joomla.org) content component.

You can download the [Xdebug helper Add-on here](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3960). Also checkout [PHPCamp.net](http://phpcamp.net) website for our own PHP community.
