xdebug.remote_autostart, remote, and connect_back not turning on

Question

I\'ve spent some time trying to figure out why the autostart, remote , and connect_back settings wont turn on. I\'ve typed in:

xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.         


        

Answer 1

Bit late answer maybe but here's how I solved this issue. For some reason MAMP conf files doesn't affect these settings, what I did was:

Go to /MAMP/bin/php/[phpX.X.XX ie your current version]/conf/php.ini and set it here.

Answer 2

This is super late, but, you need to edit the correct php.ini file. MAMP comes with 2 or more!

From the MAMP control/app launch the PHP_INFO() page, or make your own. Check the path value for the Loaded Configuration File

That is the php.ini to edit.
