Once a debugging session is started with Xdebug, it remembers this and
will open a debugging connection until it is instructed to stop doing
that. It's up to the IDE whether they are listening for more incoming
connections or not. Actually, most IDEs will allow you to just listen
for incoming connections, which can simply be started by adding
XDEBUG_SESSION_START=1 as a POST or GET variable. Whether phpdesigner
supports this I don't know.
