Apache Friends Support Forum

I've successfully installed XAMPP lite, run some php scripts and accessed a MySQL database.

However I can't get Xdebug to work. I've downloaded the Win binary for PHP5.2.1, added 'zend_extension_ts=path to xedebug.dll' to php.ini and commented out 'extension=php_xdebug.dll and disabled all other Zend extensions

When I run phpinfo() Xdebug doesn't appear.

Is Xdebug compatible with XAMPP lite for Windows?

If anyone has got it to work, could they explain how?

Wrong "php.ini"?

Wow, thank you for the quick reply :-)

I edited the php.ini file shown by phpinfo() which is located in apache/bin/ I think thats the right one?

I edited the php.ini file shown by phpinfo()

That's the correct one.

BTW:

added 'zend_extension_ts=path to xedebug.dll' to php.ini and commented out 'extension=php_xdebug.dll and disabled all other Zend extensions

What are you doing exactly?

To load this extension you must only disable the Zend Optimizer:

Code: Select all

;zend_extension_ts = "\xampp\php\zendOptimizer\lib\ZendExtensionManager.dll"

(add the ";")

And add this line:

Code: Select all

zend_extension_ts = "\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"

(if you have put the dll with this name into the directory "\xampp\php\ext")

Thank you I got it working.

For anyone else who has the same problem, change the following lines in I:\xampplite\apache\bin\php.ini to:-

;extension=php_xdebug.dll

;zend_extension_ts = "I:\xampplite\php\zendOptimizer\lib\ZendExtensionManager.dll"
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts = "I:\xampplite\php\zendOptimizer\lib\Optimizer"
zend_optimizer.enable_loader = 0
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_optimizer.license_path =

Put the Xdebug dll in I:\xampplite\php\ext\, making sure you download the right one for your version of php!

Add to the bottom of php.ini :

zend_extension_ts = "I:\xampplite\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"

Save php.ini restart Apache and run phpinfo() next to the Zend2 logo it should now say Xdebug, further down you should see a panel showing the Xdebug settings.

You are now ready to start debugging!

Added: I use the drive letter I, you will need to change this to suit your setup.
