debugging cakephp with netbeans - no variables

Question

I set up cakephp debugging with netbeans and xdebug following these instructions http://www.tiplite.com/cakephp-debug-in-netbeans/ . I got it working, but I cannot see any variables when I get to the breakpoints

Answer 1

There is an option to enable variable listing in php.ini during debugging. There is likewise an option for that in NetBeans settings, under PHP.

It is unstable, though.
