I want to debug my php pages from eclipse with Apache24 httpd server

I am using thread safe PHP version and have also downloaded thread safe zend debugger.

Following steps I have performed

  • Copied ZendDebugger.dll to C:\Softwares\php\php-5.6.8-Win32-VC11-x64\ext
  • Copied dummy.php to my Apache htdocs directory
  • Added lines to my php.ini zend_extension_ts=C:/Softwares/php/php-5.6.8-Win32-VC11-x64/ext/ZendDebugger.dll zend_debugger.allow_hosts=192.168.1.2/32,127.0.0.1/32 zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always zend_debugger.httpd_uid=-1
  • Restarted the server.
  • My settings in eclipse for php debugger .
    • Debug port : 10000 , Client Host/IP: 192.168.1.2/32,127.0.0.1/32, Debug response timeout : 50000
  • Now trying to test my debugger from eclipse but getting timeout exception in order to connect to the above IPs.
  • My phpinfo does not show any entry for Zend debugger.

I might be missing something very simple.

Default zend debugger settings is now: 10137 change it on eclipse or in php.ini, we will switch this in next version. See also tutorial eclipse.org/pdt/articles/debugger/… In current nightly we added setttings checker - zulus
@zulus thanks for the reply...i changed it in eclipse but it did not work..do i have to change it in php.ini ?...one question is what is the "/32" appended to ip addresses ? - saurav
/32 is a subnet mask : ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/… - zulus
If you phpinfo isn't show info for zend debugger, extension isn't installed properly. zend_extension_ts have invalid patch or is incompatible with your php version. Can you try different DLL? - zulus
i downloaded zend studio web debugger PHP 5.5 and 5.6 from here zend.com/en/products/studio/downloads#Windows...i have php-5.6.8-Win32-VC11-x64 installed in my system..which dll else from where should i download ? - saurav

Just to summarize what i have achieved so far and my learnings.

I could set the xdebug up with PHP. Zend debugger as mentioned in one the posts has restrictions with thread safe apache servers.

My project structure had a initial html page which was calling the php page i wanted to debug. So whenever i was pointing the php web debug configuration to the html page, the xdebug session was not getting intitialized and the BPs were not hitting.

So when i point the debug conf to php the BPs are being hit.
