    Thank You this works great!
    I’m using WAMP and the one mistake I made was editing the wrong php.ini file in the php folder.

    If your using WAMP use this path:
    C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini

    You now its installed when you the Zend engine 2 text on your phpinfo page has the third line which reads:

    This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
    Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies
    with Xdebug v2.0.4, Copyright (c) 2002-2008, by Derick Rethans

    Thanks!
