我如何在NetBeans中调试PHP

Question

• I am using Wamp server to run Apache and PHP.
• I am using NetBeans PHP as my IDE.

I would like to turn on the debugger, I imagined that either:

• Apache and PHP would need to know that I want them to tell my NetBeans that they have loaded a page and thus it should be listening for when it can fire a breakpoints
• That Netbeans needs to tell Apache and PHP that it has a breakpoint it should pause on.

I have been changing various bits and bobs trying to get the debugger to work in NetBeans All of which seems to have been in the php.ini file:

zend_extension = "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.16/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.2.3-5.4-vc9.dll"

[xdebug]
xdebug.remote_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = off
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "c:/wamp/tmp"

I really do not understand what the above is doing but I've been following tutorial after tutorial and getting no where.

What ends up happening is that I press the run button in Netbeans, the debugger part keeps saying connecting, while my browser has already loaded the page and presented everything, ignoring the fact I wanted to break at a point.

Any ideas?

When you install netbeans it automatically adds these lines to your PHP.ini file (C:\wamp\bin\apache{your-version-of-apache}\bin\php.ini), as James has described.

To fix the issue of netbeans saying "waiting for connection to netbeans-xdebug" follow the few steps bellow.

1. Remove the lChange the following lines in the php.ini file to

   zend_extension = "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.16/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.2.3-5.4-vc9.dll"

   [xdebug]

   xdebug.remote_enable = 1

   xdebud.idekey="netbeans-xdebug"

   xdebug.profiler_enable = 1

2. In netbeans click tools > Options > php > debugging

Make sure the debugger port is 9000 and session id is netbeans-xdebug
