file:
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini

zend_extension="/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so" -> xdebug bin path
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
xdebug.remote_mode="req"

xdebug.idekey="netbeans-xdebug" -> same ide configured in netbeans debuggin tab
xdebug.remote_autostart=1

php script.php
