Xdebug isn't showing php variable values or object structures in Netbeans

Question

I'm on a new box at work setting up my environment. I configured netbeans like the instructions said here. I've done this before. It was rather straight forward last time and worked the first time (a rare treat in programing). However, when I run xdebug in netbeans I can't view variable values or object structures. Here is a screen shot.

Netbeans Screen Shot

There should be more information. I can print the $model variable to the screen. It has array values and other information.

NetBeans IDE 6.9.1

xdebug 2.1.1

xampp 1.74

Answer 1

I had the same problems with xDebug and the current Eclipse PDT under Windows 7 and was unfortunately unable to resolve them.

I finally switched to the WAMP distribution where the same configuration seems to work.
