Php debugger ignores breakpoints and doesnt highlight program counter

[complicity]

I'm having a problem with the debugger in that it doesnt stop at breakpoints and the current execution point is not displayed/highlighted, I can only tell which line is being executed by looking at the call stack. Also the only way to debug a php file is to configure the debugger to stop at the first line and step through the program line by line and its possible to view the value of variables. Additionally in some cases (where I have used a templated file) the debugger seems to step over/ignore certain executable parts for no good reason, even though i'm settping through the code line by line...

As far as I can tell xdebug is configured correctly, I managed to run this test successfully.

I'm running NetBeans IDE 6.9 (Build 201006101454) on Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit.

Using 32 bit java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing).

Running Apache 2.2.15 (win 32)

VC6 thread safe build of PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Jul 21 2010 20:28:30)

Ok I resolved the issue, it looks like just a case of me being stupid and netbeans being difficult. I hadn't configured the mapping correctly between server path and project path, I had mapped the parent folders instead of the project folder so the original mapping was:

D:\apps\apache\2.2\htdocs --> D:\Users\Setebos\Documents\code\php

I changed this to:

D:\apps\apache\2.2\htdocs\tutorial --> D:\Users\Setebos\Documents\code\php\tutorial

It all works beautifully now, I get the debug programme pointer and all break points are hit correctly. See screenshot

This is quite strange, I have reverted the path mapping and I can't reproduce the bug an longer. I restarted netbeans in case it was being cached but it still works fine. I also tried reverting some of the php.ini changes and restarting apache and it still works . I have been trying lots of different things to get this to work, its possible that it was some other factor that was causing this debugging issue, I'll see if I can reproduce it again.
