Netbeans doesn't show local variables' values, using Xdebug

[Sergio Lopes]

Hi,
I'm having some difficulties getting Xdebug to work, but I don't know if it's a Netbeans problem or a Xdebug one.

I've been using xdebug with netbeans without problems for some time, I was using xampp on Mac OS X, and got the xdebug binaries from Active State debugging page, but something I need to do don't work the same way in xampp, therefor I changed to using Marc Liyanage's php pakage.

I downloaded xdebug sources for 2.0.5, and build them against the new PHP 5.3.0, set up the php.in file with the same options I had been using in xampp, just corrected the paths.

Now the debugger starts, stops at the right breakpoints, but only shows SuperGlobals, all other variables are show as uninitialized, even though they have values.
Has anyone had the same or a similar problem? Is there any place I can go to try and figure what is going on?

Xdebug was compiled with the flag for a 64bit system.

Currently my specs are:
MacBook Pro, with Intel Core 2 Duo
Mac OS X 10.5.7
HP 5.3.0

Same problem here (Windows XP, PHP 5.3.0 VC6 TS, Xdebug 2.0.5)
It is not related to NetBeans since other clients behave the same (e.g. xdebugclient).

I tried different configurations. PHP 5.2.9 (XAMPP 1.7.1) + XDebug 2.0.5 (php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.2.dll) works.
So I think it is a bug with XDebug for PHP 5.3 (php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.3-vc6.dll).

I have same issue. Is there good news about it?

php 5.3, xdebug 2.0.5
Kubuntu 9.04 with gotdeb repo
Netbeans 6.7.1

This is definitely an Xdebug bug. It will be fixed in next (2.1) release.

The beta edition is available from here: http://files.derickrethans.nl/xdebug-2.1-all.zip

or you could downgrade to PHP 5.2, which is a safe since a lot of software is still not 5.3 ready.
