It might be required that you don't use " around the path, like:

zend_extension_ts=c:/php/ext/php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.2.dll

There could also be an issue that you're using a non-thread-safe PHP
build, you can find that out by looking at the first section of
phpinfo(). I would also suggest to use the latest PHP 5.2 version
(5.2.11). Good luck!

with kind regards,
Derick
