XDebug is not loaded in PHP (Vista, Apache Module)

Question

I downloaded php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.3-vc9.dll, added at the end of PHP.ini the following line:

zend_extension_ts=\"C:/Program Files/php5/ext/php_xdebug-2.0.5-5         


        

Answer 1

You should probably not use the VC9 version, but the VC6.

For more informations, see the block "Which version do I choose?" in the left-sidebar of http://windows.php.net/ which states (quoting) :

If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP

If you are using PHP with IIS you should use the VC9 versions of PHP

Do NOT use VC9 version with apache.org binaries

Also, quoting the Installation page of Xdebug's documentation :

From PHP 5.3 onwards, you always need to use zend_extension and not zend_extension_ts.
