I'm using PHP 5.3.24 on windows 8.1, and I can't get Xdebug to work. var_dump() is not beautified and no error messages are displayed. The Xdebug module is loading (php -i and php -m both report the module as loaded, and it show up correctly in phpinfo() ), and I've got html_errors = On in php.ini
This is what I have in php.ini:
[XDEBUG]
; location of my configuration-file
zend_extension="php_xdebug-2.2.6-5.3-vc9-nts.dll"
xdebug.default_enable = on
html_errors = on
I've tried removing the quotes from arround the zend_extension filename; I've tried different .dll's (I know the thread-safe version is wrong, that doesn't work, likewise the 64 bit version); I've checked the permissions on the .dll itself, I've tried just about everything I can think of!
It looks like the dll is loading but not working properly, does anyone know if there is a specific issue with Windows 8.1 and Xdebug - I've had no problems with Xdebug on Windows XP before now. Or am I missing something here?
Thanks.
Saying var_dump() is not beautified, suggests that you're editing the php.ini of your PHP cli instalation but you want in your PHP CGI instalation (for web apps) Create a php script with phpinfo() in it and run it in the browser. Look for :
Then use this wizard to verify instalation
