Is that a paste error, or is there really a weird charactor before the
"d" in dbgp there? (Looks like a superscript 3 to me).

No, but that does mean that everything is installed (and working)
properly. It also shows up in "php -v" output.

If you have two PHPs installed, make sure you're using the right one. If
"which php" shows the MAMP one, that one is in the path first (and
correct).

You didn't quite mention *what* is not working though. From what I can
see, Xdebug is all installed just fine.
