Having trouble getting FirePHP to work

[Cathy]

Hi,
I am very new to php. So these questions may seem silly, but this is really baffling me...

I have downloaded firePHP. Installed it correctly, I think. It's icon shows in firebug. Turned on Console and Net. Doesn't seem to do anything. I added the site I'm working on to the list of allowed sites.

I downloaded the FirePHPCore library. I am not sure where to put it. Is this installed on my computer or do I put in on the server with the site I am working on? I have MAMP installed and I thought that installed some sort of php library, so I'm not sure FirePHPCore library is necessary...?

I'm running Mac OS 10.5.7 and FF 3.0.11

Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Cathy

I'm having trouble too. Getting error messages that the required files are not being found. I put the FirePHPCore folder as specified in the instructions, but can't get it to work using MAMP and local server.

Switched to XAMPP, did everything the same and it works fine. So OK, maybe some quirk of MAMP.

Then I tried uploading to my web hosting account, installed identically (www/FirePHPCore/), but it does not work, still can't find the required files. Just like the MAMP problem.

I'm guessing this is some sort of PHP problem with my include path. Any experts wanna give advice?

Thanks,
Louis

You need to download and include the FirePHPCore library in your project. If you have "." as part of your PHP include path you can simply create a FirePHPCore folder in your document root and place the FirePHP.class.php file into this directory.

Then load FirePHP with: require_once('FirePHPCore/FirePHP.class.php');

The FirePHPCore library must be in your include path just like any other PHP files you include.
