WampServer

I have just downloaded Wampserver 3.2 to use with Komodo IDE 12. I have used the PHP Xdebug extension to configure Wamperver for Local Debugging.

The Xdebug summary report says that " directories adjacent" to the the line Zend_extension="c:wamp64/bin/php/php7.3.12/ext/php_xdebug-2.9.6-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll" -line 1800 in the php.ini file 'seem to be configured with a separate php.ini file for the webserver and command line.'

Will someone please tell me what these lines aren and how to go about making sure that they are all pointing to the same php.ini file.
I am not well versed in php.in configuring and I need someone who knows what he/she is doing to help because the IDE is giving me the message " Warning Failed to configure for Local Debugging."

Thanks in advance

Hi,

> seem to be configured with a separate php.ini file for the webserver and command line.
PHP ini for Webserver is :
Left-Click -> PHP -> php.ini
That is the php.ini symbolic link which is in the bin folder of the Apache version used, for example :
c:\wamp64\bin\apache2.4.43\bin\php.ini
This symbolic link corresponds to the phpForApache.ini file of the web version of PHP, for example :
c:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.4.8\phpForApache.ini

For this same PHP version, the CLI ini is php.ini
c:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.4.8\php.ini

Thank you for your response. I am still unclear about where exactly I should write these paths in the php.ini file.

The Xdebug instructions mentioned "adjacent directories" without indicating the names of the variables in the php.ini file to which these paths should be assigned. Clarification on this matter would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
For clarification, I am including a copy of the Xdebug report . Instruction No 4 is what is giving me problems.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Wampserver 3.2.0 comes with xDebug already installed for all versions of PHP.
Look at the end of the PhpForApache.ini files

To get the information shown by Xdebug wizard, I was required to upload the whole of the php info file into the wizard's start up page. So I guess that "adjacent directories" refers to entries in the php.ini file referred to by the php info() file.My problem is to identfy which lines in this file I am to update and with what information.

I think you should copy the lines from the [xdebug] section of the phpForApache.ini file to the end of the php.ini file because the php.ini file is for PHP CLI and does not load xDebug by default.

Thanks for the reply re Apache files. Before making changes to the end of the php.ini file, I wanted to let you know the Xdebug related lines at the very end of the file (php.ini file) referred to by phpinfo() so that you may decide what lines are appropriate to add to the file at the very end.


The following are the Xdebug related lines at the end of the php.ini file:

;openssl.capath=

; Local Variables:
; tab-width: 4
; End:
; XDEBUG Extension
[xdebug]
zend_extension="c:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.3.12/ext/php_xdebug-2.9.6-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll"
xdebug.remote_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = Off
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
xdebug.profiler_output_dir ="c:/wamp64/tmp"
xdebug.show_local_vars=0

Hi,

phpinfo() refers to what it "sees" as a configuration, so what you see in phpinfo() is an exact reflection of what is in the [xdebug] section, so you copy the whole thing.

Then, as needed, you may need to modify or add xDebug directives, but I can't make that decision for you.

Problem sorted.
My Local PHP Debugging is now working as expected.
Thank you very much for your help.
