xdebug function

[vkimura]

Hi,

I uploaded xdebug.so (64-bit for linux) on the directory public_html. Then I commented out the references to zend debug and zend optimizer since xdebug isn't compatible with these. I deleted these lines in the php.ini file in the public_html folder. Then I added these lines:

; xdebug config for Linux and Mac OS X
zend_extension=/home/[user]/public_html/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=[my local computer's ip]
xdebug.remote_port=9000

However, when I used php -m via shell, the xdebug wasn't showing up.

I'm thinking someone must have done this successfully by now on bluehost.

Thanks for your help,
vkimura

In order to get xdebug loaded with Zend you must have the following settings in your php.ini;
[Zend]
zend_extension = /home/[username]/path/to/xdebug.so
zend_extension_ts = /home/[username]/path/to/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.remote_host = localhost

So the missing factor was the zend_extension_ts line.

Thank you,
