Mostly I just try to stick in a stack trace at fatal errors (as a general rule, using wfDebugDieBacktrace()) and occasionally slip in a temporary var_dump to see additional variable state. Crude, yes.

Zend (the developer of PHP) sells a proprietary, commercial IDE with an integrated debugger. Honestly I doubt they're interested in cutting into that market by integrating debugging tools into the open-source PHP core. They've so far kept bytecode caching out of the standard PHP distribution as well.
