i'm trying to use DBG, but it does not seem to work. is PhpED required?

thanks

There is a free version of DBG that does not require PhpED. I have not used it myself (I have PhpED). From what I read, the free version tends to lag behind in terms of the versions of PHP that are supported. For more information, see http://www.php-debugger.com/dbg/

The version of DBG bundled with PhpED is obviously tightly integrated with the PhpED IDE. If you do a lot of PHP development, then purchasing PhpED is a very good investment

well, it's not working. i put the following into my php.ini:



then i copied the file php_dbg.dll-4.4.x into c:/php/extensions/
and i changed it's name to php_dbg.dll

then i restarted my iis server.

then i ran phpinfo. i'm not seeing with DBG or a DBG section.

I suggest:

• Check that you are editing the correct php.ini (there may be more than one on your computer). Near the top of the phpinfo() output, you will see which php.ini is in use.
  
• In the [debugger] section of your php.ini, replace clienthost with your IP address.
  

Oh, and another thing, try using zend_extension_ts instead, e.g.

did everything you said. i AM seeing the Zend Debugger section, but not DBG.

If you are using other Zend extensions (sounds like you are), then load the DBG module before any of them. I have found issues with the order of extensions before, e.g. ionCube before DBG, and DBG before Zend decoder.
