Enable XDebugger for PHP using XAMPP

After installing Xampp on windows, make the following settings in the php.ini file to configure Xdebug for your IDE.

Open php.ini file under <Xampp_Home>\php directory, for editing.

• Note: <Xampp_Home> is the location of Xampp installed. eg: C:\Program Files\Xampp refers to <Xampp_Home>.

Find & uncomment(ie., remove semicolon(;)) from the following lines,

zend_extension="<Xampp_Home>\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"

xdebug.remote_host=localhost (change 'localhost' to '127.0.0.1')

xdebug.remote_enable=0 (change '0' to '1')

xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"

xdebug.remote_port=9000

Save php.ini & restart the computer.
