Download xdebug.dll

Find you php version php -v and download the xdebug associated to your php version here Mode the .dll file to php-path/ext.

I like to rename my file to php_xdebug.dll (php_xdebug-2.9.6-7.4-vc15-nts-x86_64.dll => php_xdebug.dll)

Configure php.ini

I like to rename

Find the path of your php.ini with php --ini command.

Open your file and go to the bottom and add (if not already) :

[xdebug]
zend_extension="php-path/ext/php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_port=9001
xdebug.profiler_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = Off
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
xdebug.profiler_output_dir ="C:/xampp/tmp" # Modify it to you own need
xdebug.show_local_vars=0
