  <p>I've found previous posts on this topic.  I didn't understand all of the things to try.  I tried what I could understand, but did not have any luck. Mostly just using xdebug_break(); ( again, no luck )</p>

  <p>I am using Eclipse and Xdebug to debug a remote PHP web site.  My problem is I can not get the debugger to stop on the breakpoints I set.</p>
  
  <p>I am doing remote PHP development with Eclipse and a "Synchronized PHP Project.  Nothing except Eclipse is running on my computer.</p>
  
  <p>I am using the Xdebug debugger on the remote server through Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>When I use the debugger it will go to the index.php.  I can step through for a while and see the value of variables.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that Xdebug will not stop at any of the breakpoints I set.</p>
  
  <p>I am including my Xdebug settings</p>
  
  <p>Any clues as to how to find and fix the problem would be welcome</p>
  
  <p><strong>Xdebug Settings:</strong></p>

  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>I created an album of screen shots.</p>
  
  <p>First one is an error message from Eclipse that happens when I leave it on all night.</p>
  
  <p>The rest of the screen shots are pieces, in order ( top->down ) of my phpinfo output.</p>

  <p>There is no Zend section in my phpinfo() output, though there are these vars</p>
  
  <pre><code>report_zend_debug = on

  zend.enable_gc  On
  zend.multibyte  Off
