Debugging php code with xdebug using Netbeans

Question

I am very new to php and am trying to built a full debugging environment for php. I have downloaded Netbeans and have already wamp installed.

I found on net that xdebug is a good utility for debugging. I have downloaded it. What exact changes are required in configuration files.

I am using windows 7. and also want to ask " is the Zend framework required to be downloaded ?"

The following wizard is a step-by step installation instruction for xdebug, it'll tell you basically three things:

A download link for php_xdebug-2.2.1-5.3-vc9.dll
Where to copy (which folder): php_xdebug-2.2.1-5.3-vc9.dll (probably:
C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\ext).
How to edit php.ini - what line/s to add/comment (for me it was to add:
zend_extension = "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.1-5.3-vc9.dll" and remove all the other zend lines).

I also recommend the Netbeans wiki. Or try this simple tutorial http://martinsikora.com/debugging-php-in-netbeans-using-xdebug

If you tried already, try to be more specific on what is not working for you (include error messages etc.)

The Zend framework is not needed.
