Xdebug is not installed on XAMPP

I want to install Xdebug so because my PHP version is 7.4.8, I downloaded php_xdebug-3.0.2-7.4-vc15-nts-x86_64.dll file and placed it at php\ext\ folder.

Then I opened up php.ini and added these lines at the end of it:

[XDebug]
zend_extension="F:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-3.0.2-7.4-vc15-nts-x86_64.dll"
xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
xdebug.var_display_max_depth=15

After that I restarted Apache and opened up dashboard but the Xdebug is not showing there, meaning that it is not installed yet somehow.

So what should I do now, in order to install it properly?

Solution

  • Maybe try using an older version of XDebug that is verified to work in the XAMPP Dashboard: https://xdebug.org/files/php_xdebug-2.9.7-7.4-vc15-x86_64.dll

    If that does not work, then there might be more details on this page that could help: https://gist.github.com/odan/1abe76d373a9cbb15bed
