No xdebug in phpinfo()

Question

I have added following lines into php.ini

[XDebug]
zend_extension = C:\\PROGRA~1\\PHP5\\ext\\php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.3-vc9.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remo         


        

Answer 1

Writing in January 2019, I found that following the Xdebug Wizard at Xdebug wizard here

exactly, including using their download link to the correct version of Xdebug for your version of PHP and copying the line to insert on your php ini exactly as is, got Xdebug appearing in phpInfo for me. I was installing into Laragon . Running php -m from the command line gave a good confirmation of all being well, with Xdebug loading as a Zend Extension. Usual gotchas about needing to restart server etc apply.
