It doesn't work "through functions" at all, but instead you can use a
tcp/ip socket for communication with Xdebug in PHP. Single stepping
and similar things are all supported. For tips on how it
can be used, see: http://xdebug.org/docs-debugger.php and for the
protocol description see: http://xdebug.org/docs-dbgp.php

http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.xdebug.general is probably the best
place.

I have not very occasional postings on http://derickrethans.nl/ about
Xdebug.
