WampServer

Hi,

I have just installed Netbeans 6.5 RC1 for it's support to PHP and PHP Debugging. I'm trying to install xdebug on my wamp server but I can't seem to succeed on configuring it right.

As the following link I have added to my php.ini these lines.

Quote

zend_extension_ts="C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.6/ext/php_xdebug-2.0.2-5.2.5.dll"
xdebug.remote_enable=1

As the default installation path is this.

But when I click on debug netbeans fails to connect to xdebug and it says it's not properly installed or configured.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

i would never recommend using a huge IDE like Netbeans to debug such a simple language

but anyway after u add the line , ul need to get the dl and put it there
download for ur version of PHP from here>>[pecl4win.php.net]

I guess I found it. I had made a typo about dll's name. How dump I'm


I'm open for other IDE suggestions for debugging PHP as PDT and Netbeans are the only ones I know. Perhaps, PHPed and PHP Designer also support them too?

thanks

My experience has been that most IDE's that support debugging tend to be a bit heavy, some others that I've played ith:

Zend Studio (5,6, eclipse version)
Eclipse
Aptana
Komodo

Once you get these monolith's open I don't see any problems with it. A lot of these also work on Linux if that's a plus to anyone.

Hi all

Just a little hint how to chose the right xdebug version for you:
Using phpinfo() check the following 2 things:
1. PHP Version (I have 5.3.0)
2. Zend Extension Build (for me it looks something like this: API220090626,TS,VC6)
This means that we should look for xdebug version that starts with

5.3 VC6

You download the version of xdebug and put it in :
C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/ext

Then edit the php.ini file and add the following lines:

[xdebug]
zend_extension="c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/ext/php_xdebug-THE_VERSION_YOU_DOWNLOADED.dll"
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "c:/wamp/tmp/xdebug"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%p"
xdebug.profiler_enable = 0
xdebug.profiler_append=0
xdebug.extended_info=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=xdebug
xdebug.remote_log="c:/wamp/tmp/xdebug/xdebug_remot.log"
xdebug.show_exception_trace=0
xdebug.show_local_vars=9
xdebug.show_mem_delta=0
xdebug.trace_format=0

That should work...

dcizal,

I am using php 5.3.0 VC6.

Thanks for the tip on matching up the PHP version with the precise DLL version - that's what did it for me!

I just want to add that the extension commands must be added to the php.ini file in the apache folder (e.g "C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin" and not the to the php.ini in the PHP folder

Also remember to use "zend_extension" and not "zend_extension_ts"

I'm stumped and would greatly appreciate this group's expertise. I followed the xdebug wizard to the letter without success.

I installed php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.2-vc6.dll to the following location: c:\wamp\php\ext.

I added the following: zend_extension_ts = c:\wamp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.2-vc6.dll to my php.ini file located at C:\wamp\Apache2\bin.

Yet xdebug simply isn't being listed in my active list of available php extensions and xdebug is not installed.


At the bottom is the direct output of the php_info().

Thank you dcizal, your explanation is the best one on the web. You just made my day!
