Improve the installation guidance #78

Closed HarryAdney closed 5 years ago

HarryAdney commented 5 years ago

Motivation

It'll help people, like me, who are new to installing php on Windows.

Proposed solution

Add the location in php.ini to add the "zend_extension = ext\php_xdebug-2.7.0-7.3-vc15-nts-x86_64.dll" line

Additional context

Not to hijack, but to add to this, I had an issue with PowerShell recognizing php so after looking around, then finally looking on the xdebug page, they suggest using phpinfo() which can be done by running php.exe and typing phpinfo();. Little work around for those who had the same issue.

@HarryAdney do you mean adding the ext\ relative path?

@ImSeaWorld what exactly is wrong with what's written here? how would you adjust the steps?

ImSeaWorld commented 5 years ago

@petrsvihlik I would add a disclaimer to step 3. Maybe something like this.

  1. Run php -i (If you receive an error 'php' not recognized continue to step 3.1) 3.1. Open c:\php\php.exe 3.2. Input phpinfo(); press enter (Continue to step 4)

Step 8. WHERE, exactly in php.ini to add that line.

FYI, after following the steps, there is no [XDebug] in my php.ini

HarryAdney commented 5 years ago

Step 8. WHERE exactly in php.ini does the line zend_extension = C:\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.7.0-7.3-vc15-nts-x86_64.dll go? It isn't shown on the wizard page either, and since in bullet 5 of the INSTALL XDEBUG reads "which basically says", I think it would be useful to advise where to put the line.

FYI, I'll also contact XDebug to see if they'll add the extra advice.

petrsvihlik commented 5 years ago

@HarryAdney it doesn't really matter where the XDebug section is within the file. I've adjusted the description. @ImSeaWorld thanks, adjusted

Thanks guys for your suggestions, I've incorporated both of them to the article. I also invited you to the Kentico organization, in case you want to stay up to date with our OS projects.
