Andraw, I'm a beginner at php and I went through the same problem , I searched, I searched, and I got it!
To check out the way to put the xdebug dll, use the xdebug site itself, where you have a part of Installation Instructions *, had provided the correct path, as said @rray should start to appear errors in orange.
php.ini
(in my php.ini there was nothing about XDebug)
[XDebug]
zend_extension = C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.4.0-5.6-vc11.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
The path was what the site with the instructions generated:
You're already running the latest Xdebug version
But here are the instructions anyway:
Download php_xdebug-2.4.0-5.6-vc11.dll
Move the downloaded file to C: \ xampp \ php \ ext
Update C:\xampp\php\php.ini
and change the line
zend_extension = C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.4.0-5.6-vc11.dll
Restart the webserver
* Paste in the text box of the site, the output of phpinfo()
(can be the source code of the HTML page generated, or the output of php -i
)
Any questions you can ask, I've been trying to figure this out may have been missing something :)
