So I have netbeans installed and xampp. Before I formatted they both worked perfectly together and I just installed them nothing else.
So now I am really annoyed as I have spent the whole day looking for what is wrong and found NOTHING!
So my first step is to check I have one php.ini file and I do.
Then nest step was checking xdebug existed and it does at : C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll
I then changed the ini file to the current settings:
[XDebug]
zend_extension = "C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\tmp"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey="netbeans-xdebug"
xdebug.trace_output_dir = "C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\tmp"
I understand that not all of them are necessary, however, looking through so many questions they all appeared relevant.
Then NOTHING changes after stopping and restarting the apache server.
I then go to http://xdebug.org/wizard.php to see if this can shed any lights by throwing on my situation about mabey a new birary I should install and the response I get includes nothing about what to download!
