[xdebug-general] Re: Windows CLI Debugging with Netbeans

I have xDebug and netbeans working great together, usually the default
settings that netbeans has works, the problem i think your having is maybe
you are not using the syntax client correctly.

make sure your php file is running on the same machine your netbeans is on
(because you are using localhost), and when you open a file, make a
breakpoint, then click the debug button, not run. If you launch the debug
correctly and no connections get established to netbeans from xdebug, it
will tell you when you stop debugging that no xdebug connections where
established, if that is the case then you have a config problem between
xdebug and netbeans.

(sorry for sending you two derick, gmail can be annoying sometimes)
