It stopped working for me using WinXP64 / xampp (after that night I posted here) and it upset me so much, I switched to Linux.
Works perfectly for me, now.

Aaron,

Thanks for the article. It really helped me get this working.
After the demonstration last week at the MKEPUG meetup I was really looking forward do getting this up and running. Finally had some time this weekend to delicate to it. A few hours later, I am debugging!

Nice article. thank you very much.
I just wanted to add that for people working with firefox, once you do all that is written here, go ahead and install XDEBUG HELPER add on to Firefox.
if you have done all that Aaron said, you know can just work with your site and before entering the page (or calling the ajax function) you want to debug, you activate firefox’s xdebug helper and as soon as you navigate to the page Eclipse will jump up and you can debug that particular page.
This is very useful if the bug is in a complex site or needs a precondition to occur.
Thank you Aaron,
Rex

opps, I still get two firefox pages/tabs. I suspect it’s to signal xdebug that the session is over.
Other than that, it works.

For all of you trying to get xdebug and eclipse working together…
I finally figured it out. Well, for me, anyway.

I am running xampp on windows, just so you know.

There is a long list of “;extension=php_whatever”, you have to comment out the extension=php_xdebug.dll or whatever you’ve changed it to trying to get it to work

I only get one firefox tab, not two now.
It actually stops the script now.
It actually shows me the variables now.
I can actually step through my code now!
OMG my life is good now.
I am using the latest version of xdebug for my installation of php, too.

I am posting this in hopes that it will help the other people all over the earth searching for the answer on google like I was
Give it a shot.
