Good afternoon,


I have been trying to install DBG on my Xampp installation on Windows XP, following the instructions (HOWTO: Install debugger module).
I modified the php.ini file according to the instructions (loading the debugger before any Zend module). I copied the .dll to both directories /ext and /extensions.
When I run the php -m command in command-line, I get the following result:

... some modules

It looks like if the php_dbg.dll-5.2 file is not compatible with the php version of Xampp (v5.2.4).

Did anyone come across this problem and found a solution ?

I'm sure it is compatible.
There are three php_dbg.dll-5.2.x are comming with PhpED:
-TS
-NTS
-NTS VC8
and only TS is compatible with php that comes with XAMPP.
Since there are three official php binary packages for Win32 are widely spreaded we started providing three derivations of the debugger.

You are right. The README from the C:\Program Files\nusphere\phped\debugger\server\Windows folder claims that the .dll supports any version of php 5.2:



I don't think that Xampp uses unofficial binaries. Unfortunately, I still have this error.

XAMPP can't use ALL three official set of binaries simultaneously.
You have to select an appropriate _one_. Most probably, TS.
Also, you have to select debugger module that matches bittness of php, not bittness of your CPU or OS.
If you have 32bit Apache, you can't use 64bit debugger and vice versa.
