title: How to debug PHP with netbeans and Xdebug
body: <p>I have recently tried to get going with <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.netbeans.org%2F&amp;ei=n1POSZS6HsONjAfRzKXcCQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNGXEZrzV0QrmVNuy79PoebH7M4D7w&amp;sig2=n-DjKReZuy7Us_MsWwNBbg" rel="noreferrer">Netbeans</a> 6.5 after it rated so highly in the IDE review by Smashing magazine. <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/02/11/the-big-php-ides-test-why-use-oneand-which-to-choose/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/02/11/the-big-php-ides-test-why-use-oneand-which-to-choose/</a></p>
  
  <p>My main reason for switching from Notepad++ is that I'd like to be able to debug my code and set through it.</p>
  
  <p>I have followed the instructions about how to install xdebug from both the vendor <a href="http://xdebug.org/" rel="noreferrer">http://xdebug.org/</a> and the netbeans web site. <a href="http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/debugging.html#gettingReady" rel="noreferrer">http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/debugging.html#gettingReady</a> but to no avail.</p>
  
  <p><strong>How is it done, has anyone else got debugging working in netbeans?</strong></p>
  
  <p><em>(My setup is: Windows XP, Wamp server 2.0, PHP 5, Netbeans 6.5.1)</em></p>
