[xdebug-general] Eclipse PDT/ XDebug not showing Variables

Hello, this is my first post.

I have installed XDebug on Windows7 laptop with Eclipse PDT and XAMPP
with only a few stumbles. I can debug PHP Scripts and PHP Web Pages. I'm
doing fine.

The only problem is while debugging Web Pages the variable values do not
show in Eclipse. They show when debugging scripts.

The various installation tutorials seem to say or suggest that the
variables should show while debugging pages. But Googling shows that
many are having this problem and I saw no solution mentioned except
someone suggested modifying the source yourself and recompiling, but
that cactual hange was not mentioned.

I scanned php.ini today and saw no xdebug setting for this except
xdebug.collect_params and xdebug.collect_vars, but the description
didn't seem to match this situation.

Is there something I should do? Debugging and following the flow from
web from webpage to webpage is already a great help, but seeing the
variables would be a much greater help.

Windows 7 Gateway NV53 laptop
Eclipse 3.4.1
XDebug php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.3-vc6.dll
XAMPP 1.7.3
PHP 5.3.1

Thanks
