Debug php Eclipse

Question

I'm having a very hard time getting a breakpoint to hit in some php code. I don't do much php so might be newbie error.

I've read though the other questions, PDT Install Instructions, and XDebug Install Instructions

For both debuggers, the instructions expect a config section to show up in the phpinfo() and it doesn't for me.

Some info about my current setup

Windows
AMPPS
PHP 5.2.17
Website runs fine

I need some help with things to check or ideas what I might need to do differently.

I'm stuck pretty much for now.

So have you installed XDebug on your server and added the appropriate config sections to `php.ini`? — Phil, Oct 23 '13 at 02:52
If you don't see XDebug mentioned in the output of `phpinfo()`, it is not loaded. Check your php.ini file. — Brad, Oct 23 '13 at 02:54
I've edited the php.ini file like the different instructions say, and double checked i'm looking at the correct one. Is there any reason changes like that wouldn't get picked up? — Andrew Walters, Oct 23 '13 at 03:03
Installing XDebug is pretty much just grabbing the right debug .dll and referencing it in the php.ini right? — Andrew Walters, Oct 23 '13 at 03:06

Two main things that fixed my issues.

Turned off Iron PHP Loader
copied the non-ts XDebug .dll, even though the php config shows thread safe = enabled. This dll seems to work

The config settings are below for reference:

;Stuff to allow debugging in eclipse 
zend_extension="C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.3-5.3-vc9.dll"
xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_autostart=On
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_mode=req

You do have to make sure and add the extra xdebug configurations or eclipse won't cooperate.
