I'm using netbeans 7.3 to debug my laravel 3.2 project. I'm having trouble getting xdebug to work, as it does not stop at breakpoints (BTW the same setup works fine with a codeigniter project, so I don't think its the IDE, or xdebug).
I have the following arguments set in The project properties->Run configuration dialog box:
project URL: http://localhost/my_project/public/my_controller
index file: blank
arguments: blank
It runs fine, its just xdebug which does not work. Could someone give me a hand getting it working?
my development stack is http://www.easyphp.org/ . In my php.ini file at the botton I have:
I just ran my phpinfo through the tailored installation instructions at and got:

I've tried this, but I notice it doesn't say which version to download. I downloaded the 32 bit threadsafe version and now have at the bottom of php.ini:

following directions, a put a file in my document root containing
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\Windows
Loaded Configuration File F:\EZPHP\apache\php.ini
just as an additional note, I just found out that it will break when I hard code in xdebug_break()
Open your php.ini file and comment php_xdebug.dll by putting ; in front of it. So it will look something like this:
;extension=php_xdebug.dll
Are you sure you are looking at the .ini file that is used? Create a php file and add <?php phpinfo(); open it in a browser and look at the top (listed under "Loaded Configuration File" and "Additional .ini files parsed" in the top block) for active .ini file(s) in use.
Then open that file(s), search for xdebug and comment out or remove any line that has extension=php_xdebug.dll.
Also please verify that you have installed xdebug correctly by pasting & submitting the contents of your phpinfo() here: http://xdebug.org/find-binary.php
