Debugger installation for wampp2 distribution (wampp 2.2 contains PHP 4.3.2)[edit | edit source]

1) copy php_dbg.dll (you must extract it from the downloaded file, according to your php version, and rename to php_dbg.dll) to

c:\wampp2\php\extensions

2) edit C:\wampp2\php\php.ini, and review the following parameters:

this is to see output while debugging

implicit_flush = On

check this parameter

extension_dir = \wampp2\php\extensions\

add the dbg extension

extension=php_dbg.dll

Add this section at the end of php.ini

[debugger]
debugger.enabled = true
debugger.profiler_enabled = true
debugger.JIT_host = clienthost
debugger.JIT_port = 7869

Note: if you would like to use only one php.ini you can maintain for example a central c:\windows\php.ini and delete the C:\wampp2\php\php.ini and C:\wampp2\apache\bin\php.ini
