Xdebug php.ini config: Using XAMPP

[XDebug]
zend_extension = "c:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.mode=develop,debug
xdebug.start_with_request=yes

When the debug starts it does not stop on entry.

Oh top of your php file try adding xdebug_info(); and see the log messages there for clues.

Looks like nothing in the log.

[zobo]

Really strange. It claims it is connected, so it should work. Try to add log: true to your launch.json configuration and then a xdebug_break(); somewhere on top of your php script.

Dom the contents of the DEBUG CONSOLE here and let's analyze.

[zobo]

No feedback. Reopen if this is still a problem.

I stopped using XDebug temporarily. Decided to use Kint plugin and debug the old way. Agreed. Lets keep this closed for the time being. Thank you for the follow-up.
