Question

I have the following scenario:

xdebug 2.0.0rc1-5.1.2
Eclipse Helios
php 5.1.6

I am trying to debug a php application on eclipse but it doesn’t stops on breakpoints. The browser is initallized correctly. I think versions of xdebug , eclipse helios and php are compatible. I’ve removed all breakpoints and i have created it again. xdebug appears in phpinfo configured as extension.

Anyone knows why it doesn’t work?

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked if you are using the correct version of Xdebug? The wizzard will help you pick the wright version http://www.xdebug.org/wizard.php.

I don’t know which OS you using but I guess it is Windows. I had a similar problem with netbeans on Unbuntu and Windows (Xdebug and Netbeans are not communicating with each other). Because Netbeans and Eclipse appear to share a lot of common elements this might help. Set you port number to 9001 inside eclipse.

EDIT:More info

This is my configuration:

XAMPP Version 1.8.1.
Windows 7
Eclipse PDT 32bit version
Xdebug 2.2.1

My suggestion is update everything to the latest version or to use the exact same configuration.

In my php.ini file (C:\xampp\php\php.ini) I have the following settings. You can access php.ini via the Controle panel -> Config -> PHP (php.ini).

[XDebug]
zend_extension = C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.1-5.4-vc9.dll
;xdebug.profiler_append = 0
;xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
;xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
;xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "C:\xampp\tmp"
;xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
;xdebug.remote_enable = 1
;xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
;xdebug.remote_host = "127.0.0.1"
;xdebug.trace_output_dir = "C:\xampp\tmp"
;xdebug.remote_port="9000"
;xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
;xdebug.remote_mode=reg
;xdebug.idekey=netbeans-xdebug
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000

AND turnoff report zend debug in php.ini

; This setting is on by default.
report_zend_debug = 0

Xdebug Configuration inside Eclipse:

Start Eclipse -> Explorer window -> File -> Properties -> PHP -> PHP debug -> Select under default settings Xdebug instead of Zend. (If needed configure: Xdebug to port 9000).
