I am trying to install Xdebug but its giving me a hard time.
I am running PHP 5.6.40. I downloaded the Xdebug php_xdebug-2.5.0-5.6-vc11-nts-x86_64
I put it in the ext folder of my PHP folder.
I removed the zend_extension from the php.ini
I added the xdebugger in the XDebug tab.
Restarted the WAMP server but still not showing xdebug in the phpinfo().
What am i doing wrong?
[xdebug]
zend_extension ="c:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.40/ext/php_xdebug-2.5.0-5.6-vc11- nts-x86_64.dll"
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_port=9003
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir="c:/wamp/tmp"
I don't know which version of wamp you're using, but I run wamp 3.1.7 in which the php.ini file of apache comes already with the right xdebug extension. When you open apache/apache2.4.37/bin/php.ini and search for xdebug in the file, you find:
; XDEBUG Extension
[xdebug]
zend_extension="D:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.2.14/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.6.1-7.2-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 ="D:/wamp64/tmp"
xdebug.show_local_vars=0
As you can see, xdebug extension is preinstalled in a zend_ext/ subfolder in your php folder. Xdebug is disabled by default, so you has to enable it by setting the right options to yes.
