My System is

  1. Windows 10 with the newest updates
  2. Firefox Browser with the newest version
  3. Expression Web as developing tool
  4. WampServer Version 3.0.6 64bit as web server

I installed xdebug dll like it was mentioned in https://xdebug.org/docs/install.

php.ini:

[xdebug]
zend_extension=F:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.25\ext\php_xdebug-2.5.0-5.6-vc11-x86_64.dll
  • I restarted wamp server
  • I refreshed wamp server

  • I looked in php.ini and found the zend-Logo and this

    Compiler MSVC11 (Visual C++ 2012)
    ...
    This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
    Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
    with Xdebug v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2016, by Derick Rethans

  • I run the test at https://xdebug.org/wizard.php and got

You may be editing wrong php.ini file (you may have one for CLI and one that is used by Apache). For CLI -- show php --ini output; For Apache -- show top table of phpinfo(); output captured via browser. – LazyOne
WAMPServer comes with XDEBUG already installed !!!!! – RiggsFolly

WAMPServer comes with XDEBUG already installed. But only in the php.ini that is used by Apache.

If you want it available for the PHP CLI then all you have to do is

  1. Open the php.ini using wampmanager->php->php.ini
  2. Go to the bottom of the php.ini file
  3. Copy the complete [xdebug] section
  4. Edit \wamp\bin\php\php{version}\php.ini (whichever version you are using, or all the versions)
  5. Paste the [xdebug] section into the bottom of the file
  6. Save php.ini

Then it will also work in the PHP CLI

If you want the latest version of XDEBUG then go here http://wampserver.aviatechno.net/ and download the XDEBUG ADDON Update xDebug 2.5.0 32 bit x86 or Update xDebug 2.5.0 64 bit x64 depending on which version of WAMPServer you installed (32 or 64 bit)

You can also download the latest version of WAMPServer Wampserver update 3.0.8 ADDON while you are there, this just upgrades the WAMPServer control code and not any versions of APACHE,MYSQL or PHP.

But there are also ADDONS available there that will add the latest versions of Apache, Mysql and PHP as well as well as latest versions of phpMyAdmin/Sysinfo and Adminer

I suggest you get rid of whatever version of XDEBUG you downloaded

If debugger is still not working make sure that you have xdebug.remote_enable enabled in php.ini file.

Just do below steps

Goto service running greenIcon->Php->php extensions->zend extensions->select installed php_xdebug_version.

After goto php.ini file search [opcache] -> below [opcache] line comment zend_extension. Save then

restart service.
