Howto Install XAMPP 1.7.2 on Windows 7 with XDebug and Netbeans

Hi,

Just for my own reference and some other poor people out there trying to get this to work:

1. Download XAMPP 1.7.2 from sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/1.7.2/xampp-win32-1.7.2.exe/download
2. Install
3. Download php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.3-vc6.dll from xdebug.org/download.php
4. Place it in C:\xampp\php\ext
5. Edit C:\xampp\php\php.ini add:

   zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.3-vc6.dll"

   [xdebug]
   xdebug.remote_enable=on
   xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
   xdebug.remote_port=9000
   xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"

6. Enjoy!
