How to find where you are in the code execution when debugging?

[ChrisNY]

After nearly half a year of trying, I finally got xdebug to work with Netbeans (ver. 6.7 RC3). I can set breakpoints, watches, step through code, etc.

But my most typical problem is when php hangs or dies with a blank screen or just half the screen filled in. I want to know where in the php code I am in, or last was before it died; on what line.

I don't know how to do that with netbeans & xdebug. I mean, I'm talking about many 10's of thousands of lines of code, jumping from module to module. I can't step through line by line, and I can't set breakpoints everywhere. I just want to be able to pause execution and see where I am or last was.

Is there any way to do that? What I do now is start the debug session. The app starts and breaks at the first line. I hit continue and interact with the app until it freezes or is blank. That's when I want to know where I am. The call stack doesn't show anything, the "pause" control/option in the debug menu is disabled, as are all the other debug options (step into, etc.), except for "Stop Debugging".

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but I did try to rtfm and search first.
