In the case of PDT, you launch the application you want to debug. This
appends the XDEBUG_SESSION_START to the url you specify in the launch.
Invoking the url then establishes a debug session with PDT to debug the
application.

The append was done to ensure the scripts were debugged, but I suppose it
could be made optional if you know your php.ini contains the appropriate
setting.

Also from a PDT point of view, unless a launch of an application has
actually been done from the ide, any debug sessions that attempt to
establish with PDT will be rejected as a debug launch inside the IDE must
be present. I have an item to add JIT debugging where a debug connection
is requested when PDT was not expecting one and to automatically initiate
a debug launch in the IDE. But I have had no requests for this feature so
it is very low on the list.
