I'm developing in NetBeans a CakePHP application and finally managed to get it connecting to XAMPP debugging sessions (PHP 5.3.1 w/ Xdebug v2.0.6-dev).
It perfectly works when launching, it does pause the application on the first line.
However any further breakpoint I set is completely ignored. It does not break nor pause; it just runs to completion.
xdebug.extended_info is set to 1 and I tried with a barefoot php project without any framework magic and there breakepoints worked as expected.
What the hack? I would like to be able to use breakpoints in (Cake)PHP.
