Xdebug ignores breakpoints

It looks like there is something wrong with the path to the file containing the breakpoint.

<- breakpoint_set -i 452 -t line -s enabled 
   -f file:///http:/development.xxx.de/users/itsame/index.php -n 15 ->

I've had a similar problem with Eclipse. Only my breakpoints in the index file were accepted and breakpoints in other files—that were included in the index—were ignored.

I looked in the remote_log file and saw the following:

<- breakpoint_set -i 260 -t line 
   -f file:///~jeroen/workspace/fieg/wp-content/plugins/fieg/fieg.php -n 22-> 
<response xmlns="urn:debugger_protocol_v1" 
   xmlns:xdebug="http://xdebug.org/dbgp/xdebug" command="breakpoint_set" 
   transaction_id="260" id="48060002"></response>

I noticed that the path for the breakpoint was all wrong. It turned out that I had to setup Port Mapping in Eclipse. After setting the correct mapping the breakpoints started working. Also my remote_log now shows the correct path:

<- breakpoint_set -i 333 -t line 
   -f file:///Users/jeroen/Workspace/fieg/wp-content/plugins/fieg/fieg.php -n 12->     
<response xmlns="urn:debugger_protocol_v1" 
   xmlns:xdebug="http://xdebug.org/dbgp/xdebug" command="breakpoint_set" 
   transaction_id="333" id="48080005"></response>

I'm not sure if there is an equivalent of the Eclipse Port Mapping configuration in Netbeans, but hopefully I pointed you in the good direction.

For me the problem was "Project properties > Source > Web Root:" was not set (it had a default " as its value).

After setting it to be my web root on disk, the breakpoints started working.

In your php.ini file, set this directive:

report_zend_debug = 1

I hope this help someone?
