My Xdebug works fine when I use eclipses' internal browser but when I use it in an external browser apache crashes.
I am using xampp and on windows 7 64 bit. If someone needs more information let me know.
For some reason if I have the variables tab open in the php debugger in eclipse it crashes apache. So to stop it I just can't have variables tab open while debugging. So this avoids the problem but doesn't fix it. I would like to be able to have this tab. Any suggestions?
It is possible that the XDebug build and type does not match your apache & php build and type...
Apache compiled with VS.NET 2008 (VC9) for 32bit and using PHP as a module would require XDebug: 32bit, VC9, Thread Safe.

Also, you could test another WAMP package that comes with XDebug (for example WampDeveloper) and if it also does not work for you, it's probably not a build mismatch issue.
Hey I got this working
Eclipse 3.6.1 (because on later versions key shortcut for putting line comment don't work)
Xampp 1.7.4
Xdebug 2.1.2
The trick is to change php from VC6 to VC9 and then it just works correctly.
BTW. It's the variables panel that causes xdebug to crash apache on php VC6.
Remember to get VC9 version of xdebug for new php AND if you put your new php in directory other than
\xampp\php, then on phpinfo(); you'll see that there's no php.ini loaded so just rename old php (co you can swich them from one to other anytime) and put new php in the same directory in which original php was in "\xampp\php" and copy your php.ini (because paths doesn't change). Also remember to obtain any additional php extensions you've been using in VC9 version for new php and put them in "\xampp\php\ext"
I can confirm most of what t0meck said. Except I've moved up to xampp-win32-1.7.7-VC9 which has PHP 5.38. Taking the phpinfo() results from that to Xdebug's custom installation analyzer, it specifies the php_xdebug-2.1.2-5.3-vc9.dll, but the problem isn't entirely eliminated. As I've documented in my 'notes to self' page, the following is working for me.
After following the above procedure, the 'run as' should work on the first try, but the 'debug as' may crash Apache at every attempt. This is an issue that has driven many people to severe distraction. There is an apparent bug exposed using the debug perspective. At the top center of the perspective is a window with two tabs, the variable view and the breakpoint view. Usually, Apache crashes only when the variable view is highlighted, so highlight the breakpoint view instead. Then set a breakpoint on your project. Now, if you are one of the chosen, you will be able to step through the script using the debugger, but when you switch to the variable view it may still crash Apache. What a drag. Repeat the process and the next time you should actually see the variables and the problem will magically go away, until you restart the project. Just repeat the procedure and be satisfied with being one of the lucky ones.
Don't know if this help, I have same kind of issue, but it relate to array depth xdebug >handle in Variables view. And you can change it. Widnow > Preferences > PHP > Debug > >Installed Debug > Xdebug > Configure enlarge the "Max array depth" solved my issue.

Just set it to 10 or bigger and it should work

I got a real problem with Komodo Edit v8.5.3: I use XAMPP XAMPP v1.8.3 [PHP: 5.5.6] to provide a local hosted server for Komodo.
[Edit -> Preferences -> Languages -> PHP] ; here I configured the PHP stuff like this:
**Default PHP Interpreter** C:\xampp\php\php.exe
**Path to alternate PHP configuration file** C:\xampp\php\php.ini
**PHP Directories** nothing
After restarting I tested this feature: But no autocomplet and calltips, syntax checking did sometimes work ...
If I wrote some code, it began to scan the php directory of XAMPP for completing, but this search got freezed everytime somewhere (in the PEAR directory).
I don't really understand what's wrong with Komodo and XAMPP. (I did also reinstall Komodo.)
Komodo is great, but withoutd this the most importent feature is impossible.
Komodo php autocomplete didn't work for me, too.
My situation might be different, but I'm sharing for the next Googler to visit.
I installed Komodo before php5. Whoops. Installing php wasn't good enough, I had to also delete the config files in ~/.komodo-edit (or whatever folder it created).
That still wasn't enough, I also had to delete the ___.komodoproject file I was working on as well.
Then I was awed by Komodo's awesomeness.
Komodo Edit 8.5.3 has a memory leak problem. To confirm this check your process list and you will see Komodo Edit main thread and Python child thread. Watch to see the memory footprint of the Python thread as the scan progresses.
If the memory is large (for me is was over 1GB), try upgrading to a later release.
At time of writing this, you can find version 8.5.4 here:
http://downloads.activestate.com/Komodo/nightly/komodoide/latest/
I have installed trial version of PhpStorm 7 on my Windows 7 64 bit.
Php Storm is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PhpStorm 7.0\bin\PhpStorm.exe" and my Xampp server in in E:\xampp.
I go to set php interpreter but PhpStorm don't find it.
I opened phpinterpreter windows and choose directory E:\xampp\php but I receive more error like this
Php Startup: Unable to load dynamic lybrary "\xampp\php\ext\php_xxxxxx.dll"......
It seems that PhpStorm 7 trunks the path excluding the disc and cannot find the installation of php over xampp directory.
I forced write correct value in C:\Users\currentuser\.WebIde70\config\options\php.xml , but I have same result
P
hp version: Not installed
Debugger: Not installed
but I have both installed and running.
What should I do to correct the problem?
Thanks very much
This worked for me, however I'm in PhpStorm 8 and the layout is entirely different. I'll still pop this here in case someone else needs these instructions.
Install your prefered PHP from here: http://windows.php.net/ (It doesn't need to be in your PATH, just pop it anywhere)
In PhpStorm, go to File -> Settings
In settings go to Languages & Frameworks -> PHP
Click the ellipsis next to Interpretter (this opens a new window)
Click the plus button in the top left and choose "Other Local"
Set the PHP exectuable to wherever you put your download above. It just needs to see php.exe
That's it. I've been using that to run Composer from PhpStorm... though I'm not convinced by the results.
As an alternative I would highly recommend using Vagrant for your PHP needs. You don't need PHP in Windows at all, and I've been developing this way for about 2 years. PhpStorm's remote support (including Vagrant, SSH and Remote Interpreter) is now excellent. I think the only thing I've been irritated by is PHPUnit Code Coverage is still broken.
Yes I have tried searching on StackOverflow and Google for my problem. If you read the entire question you will see that I include a lot of links to previous answers that I found using both.
I have been trying to get XDebug working with Version: Juno Service Release 2 of Eclipse for about the past hour and a half and I'm running into a log of issues. I've already solved most of my problems by using stack overflow and Google.
I followed the steps here first to install the debugger.
I made sure that I added the debugger as a zend_extension as mentioned in this post.
Here are the relevant lines from my php.ini file
zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so"
xdebug.collect_params=4
xdebug.var_display_max_depth=999
xdebug.dump.POST=*
xdebug.dump.GET=*
xdebug.show_local_vars=1
I made sure that I edited the php.ini file for the 5.3 version of php that comes with MAMP. At this point the debugger would start even though XDebug does show up when I run php -v.
Since I was still having issues I checked the logs just like someone did here. I noticed this error in the logs:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'Model' not found in ...
After checking the documentation for the latest version of CodeIgniter I noticed that all Models have to extend CI_Model and not Model.
I fixed that and the error is no longer being printed to the logs, but now things just don't work. The debugger won't go past the first line when I try to debug a file.
I'm trying to debug my php application as a PHP CLI Application. When I try to debug the application as a PHP Web Application I get an error message that says:
No tab group defined for launch configuration type org.eclipse.php.debug.core.launching.webPageLaunch
After Googling the problem, I came across this post that suggested that you might not be able to do what I'm trying to do. Since the question was first asked in 2009, I decided to try the second suggestion and check for any updates.
After updating all of my Eclipse plugins I was still having the same problem. After searching on SO some more, I saw that this guy just gave up and tried with NetBeans and got everything to work.
Should I just consider the past 1.5 - 2 hours as a sunk cost and just move on to a different IDE?
I also had issues getting XDebug to work with Eclipse and XAMPP. In the end I decided to go with Netbeans and it was a lot smoother getting it setup. I am still using Netbeans to date for all of my PHP development.
Possibility your Php CLI is picking wrong php.ini file ?
Please go to terminal and check which ini file is loaded by :
php --ini
and make sure its desired one.
jerrod.taylor,
I had a lot of issues when starting use PHP,Xdebug and Eclipse. I considered change IDE myself but I liked the challenge and found a lot of help online. I will try to provide you with some tips will help you.
First of all this is the parameters I have in my php.ini:
zend_extension="/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9060
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
xdebug.remote_autostart=On
I am using local machine as remote host. Adapt for your world. This configuration works for me with CLI and Web debugging. I am really not sure if some of them is specific for different kinds of debug. So, lets start with all of them.
Now, make sure xdebug is been supported. Run the following command and see if exist something not good.
php -i|grep xdebug
NOw, lets go to Eclipse. In Eclipse preferences add the correspondent PHP executable and make sure the debuger type is Xdebug. This step can be done navigating through Preferences->PHP->PHP Executables. If you add an item, the form you ask you for the following information:
Name : Choose one
Executable Path : the_path_to_php_exe
PHP Ini file : you can leave it blank
SAPI type : CLI
PHP debugger : Xdebug
This step is important. It is how we will tell eclipse the executable to use.
Now, lets add a debug configuration. I have one project called upload in my workspace and exist a file index.php on this project. To create a debug configuration click in new when "PHP CLI Application" is selected. It will be add a new configuration form for you. For my Debug configuration I have the following information:
Tab PHP Script
Run Time PHP
Alternat PHP: (Select the PHP executable you have created above)
PHP File : /upload/index.php
Break Point : Break at first line is selected
This steps should be enough to you solve your issues. Let us know how it was.
I know this question has been asked before and I've looked through the responses but no matter what I do, I can't create an environment to step through my php programs.
I've downloaded the XAMPP stack, and Eclipse and enabled xdebug but nothing.
PHPinfo reports: Debug Build, No.
Does that mean that I'll never get an XAMPP installation to debug. If so is there another Windows, Apache, PHP, MySQL stack recommended?
I downloaded the Komodo IDE 21 day free trial and their wizard can't start debug either.
help
No, the Debug Build phpinfo() refers to is a compile-time switch/define that affects the way php itself is compiled. The debug build is less optimized, contains some more test code and the symbol files, used when stepping through the php C code with a debugger, are more accurate (mostly due to the less optimized code).
It does not affect the ability to add a script debugger module like xdebug. But you need a version of the module .dll/.so that is compatible with your version of php. The API version, Thread-safety "enabled/disabled" and "debug yes/no" information must match. (on second thought I'm not even sure if debug yes/no must match).
Does the xdebug section appear in the output of phpinfo()? If not make sure you've edited the right php.ini. In recent versions of xampp that should be <xampp dir>/php/php.ini regardless of whether you use php-cli or the apache module. But it used to be <xampp dir>/php/php.ini for the cli version but <xampp dir>/apache/bin/php.ini for the apache module of php.
Also check the error.log in <xampp dir>/apache/logs for error messages that might be related. Those should begin with "PHP Startup: ....error message..."
try using wamp if your using windows. It works great for me
I recently installed Windows 7 on my desktop and the following problem has begun occuring:
I regularly run some PHP scripts from the commandline that are now giving this error in a popup window:
CLI has stopped working.
I cancel this and my script terminates. Not good...
I've googled around and tried most of the few ideas suggested but still i am plagued by this annoyance. Right now it appears to regularly occur when I do a file_get_contents() of a url pointing to an image file. Only happens when the url is http protocol, works fine for ftp files. It also happens spuriously doing other things as well.
This is PHP 5.3.0 as distributed in a xampp 1.7.2 .zip. All exe's and dll's have been unblocked by copying thru FAT32 and back.
hints from anyone who's cracked this would be most helpful.
Try updating your PHP version bundled with xampp. You might have to update some php_XXX.dll extension files.
More info: http://web2.0entrepreneur.com/31/cli-has-stopped-working-on-windows-vista.html
PHP-CLI stops under these circumstances: Windows 7 64bit, PHP 5.6.8 64bit, only when Zend OpCache extension is ENABLED!!!
Just edit php.ini and comment zend_extension=php_opcache.dll (with ; in front of it)
I found that this happened to me when I had the APC extension enabled. I switched to using the Wincache for PHP extension instead.
If you receive this error after installing WAMP, most likely you have another installation of PHP on your machine. This may have been installed using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer or by other means. The first thing you should do is un-install PHP.
If this doesn't work, check to make sure that IIS and Apache are not trying to use the same port. WAMP starts out with Port 80 as standard and IIS usually will be the same. The easiest way to fix this is to turn off IIS while running WAMP, but you can set either of them servers to port 81 or another port.
If this doesn't work, my last suggest is to look for multiple copies of php.ini on your machine. You may find them in places like the Windows directory. Make a backup of the file just in case, and then remove them from all of the folders except the WAMP folder.
it happened to me in laravel 5.I searched every where but no solution that fix my problem then i debug my web application at different points and found that if you comment your php code in laravel comments in blade template like
{{--print_r($date_a);--}}
Now comment like this
//print_r($date_a);
works
The solution for me was to stop using PHP 5.3.0 and go back to 5.2.11. Once I did this the "CLI has stopped working" issue disappeared.
I have the same issue with Windows 7 Professional.
My Apache Server has no problem finding and executing PHP within my web application but the command line execution gives the infamous message "CLI has stopped working."
The User Account Settings seem to allow executions.
Perl has no problem.
I always have to take my code to an XP machine and run it there to debug it.
You didn't specify that you were using xdebug, but just in case you were, I may be able to help. I had this error for a long time. It turned out I was on a slightly older version of Xdebug (php_xdebug-2.2.0-5.4-vc9.dll).
I replaced that file with "php_xdebug-2.2.2-5.4-vc9.dll" and it magically started working immediately.
I'm on wamp, and I updated both php.ini files (one is for cli, one for normal use) with the latest filename.
"zend_extension = c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.2-5.4-vc9.dll"
Then dropped the new file into the php ext folder and instant success.
I had the same issue on Windows 7 (Home premium). I had a hunch that it is caused by one of the extensions I installed so I started commenting them out one-by-one.
Turned out it was caused by a non-compatible mongodb extension I was using
Edit php.ini and comment zend_extension=opcache.enable_cli=1 (with ; in front of it)
Try to use another php version instead.
It works perfectly for me.
Try to run scripts with php-cgi.exe instead of php.exe. For me it works.
