xdebug not working on netbeans with built-in server using laravel

Question

I ran into an issue when trying to debug in NetBeans. I set breakpoints and click on a Debug Project button (Ctrl+F5), but no debug info is shown in the IDE.

Also, phpinfo(); doesn't provide me with an xdebug section.

I'm using Laravel framework version 5.0.

It has a server.php file, which I use in the Run Configuration of NetBeans IDE as a Router script (PHP Built-in Web Server).

The server.php is as follows:

<?php
$uri = urldecode(
parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH)
);

if ($uri !== '/' && file_exists(__DIR__.'/public'.$uri))
{
    return false;
}

require_once __DIR__.'/public/index.php';

Here is my xdebug configuration in php.ini:

[XDebug]
zend_extension_ts=php_xdebug.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000

I'm using zend_extension_ts property as long as I've downloaded a Thread Safe PHP package (php-5.6.7-Win32-VC11-x64). I tried just zend_extension as well.

The php_xdebug.dll is 2.3.2 version (a PHP 5.6 VC11 TS (64 bit) one).

Answer 1

I have the same issue. And solved this way. Since I'm using PHP 5.6, my php.ini file has only the following settings for XDebug:

zend_extension = php_xdebug-2.3.3-5.6-vc11-x86_64.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=on

At NetBeans, I have:

NetBeans' Run Configuration for PHP Built in server

Hope this help =)
