Configuring Xdebug in php.ini:

 [Xdebug] zend_extension_ts="D:\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.1.2.dll" xdebug.remote_enable=1 ;IP xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 xdebug.remote_port=9000 xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp xdebug.auto_trace = On xdebug.show_exception_trace = On xdebug.remote_autostart = On xdebug.collect_vars = On xdebug.collect_return = On xdebug.collect_params = On

Answer 2

Instead of trying to mix n matching modules, try loading stock from Apache friends. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

XAMPP comes with xdebug right out of the box.

Answer 3

It sounds like you just need to download the correct version of xdebug for your version of Windows / PHP. There are VC9 builds here , just select the appropriate one for 32 or 64 bit.
