Can't connect to xdebug in PHPStorm – SEO

The problem

So I feel although I’ve tried everything and still can’t get xdebug to connect to phpstorm. I says it waiting for a connection, then when I load the page, using either the get variable ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=PHPSTORM or the chrome extension, the message briefly changes to connected, before going back to waiting.
The error:

In the error log at E:xamppapachelogsxdebug.log is as follows

My current config

I’m using Apache 2.4 on Windows 7 Pro with xampp and php5.6

php.ini

[XDebug]
zend_extension = "E:xamppphpextphp_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "E:xampptmpxdebug"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
xdebug.idekey = PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "12hitchinscouts.local"
xdebug.remote_port= 9001
xdebug.remote_log= "E:xamppapachelogsxdebug.log"
xdebug.trace_output_dir = "E:xampptmpxdebug"
xdebug.extended_info  = 1

phpinfo

PHPStorm

What I’ve tried

• Using break-points in PHPStorm
• Using xdebug_break(); in PHPStorm
• Setting remote host to this xdebug.remote_host = "127.0.0.1" in php.ini
• Various tutorials and forum posts to get me to this point

If you need any more info then feel free to ask, but I think I’ve provided it all.

Thanks

Whooo, you reached the bottom 🙂

        <h2>What is scouting?</h2>
        <p>Scouts was invented in 1907 by Robert Baden-Powell with just 20 boys. Over
a century later the number is into millions worldwide. There are many
stories around scouting, which could take up this entire pack – but suffice to
say it has evolved over the last century in many different ways.
We aim to ensure that a balanced programme is achieved which allows the
children to grow mentally, physically, socially and spiritually. Scouts
nowadays still need to Be Prepared as the old motto goes, and we have
many activities that are fun, testing and hopefully, a little bit out of the
ordinary – offering something new and different to everyone. We have tried
many activities over the last few years ranging from Bowling and archery to
bouldering and kayaking. We have walked in the peak district camping
overnight, conversely, we have walked for a couple of hours around
Deacon’s hill in Hitchin.</p>
<p>All the scout basics are there, including hiking, camping, first aid and
numerous badges catering from hobbies and activities to in depth levelled
badges for swimming or aeronautics! We also aim to complete a Challenge
Badge every 1-2 terms, which when collected gains the Chief Scouts Gold
award – the highest accolade available as a Scout. To earn this, Scouts show
their creativity, outdoor skills, help the community, learn about faiths and
tolerance and ultimately – go on an expedition for a few days, planned and
carried out by themselves!</p>
<p>Joining the scouts will leave you in esteemed company as people such as
Kate Middleton, Major Tim Peake, David Beckham, Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama, Richard
Branson, Ross Kemp and our current Chief Scout Bear Grylls, have all been
involved in scouting.</p>

        <h2>Upcoming events</h2>
        <?php 
        $no = 1; //number of upcoming events to display, 0 or less shows 1. Non integers are rounded and values of 0 or less are turned to 1
        $index = 1; //this is the index page, leave blank for implementation on other pages. uses if($index == 1) logic
        $limit['years'] = 1;//how far into the future should it show events? Non integers are rounded and values of 0 or less are turned to 1
        //This shows events from all sections, to specify a section, a line must be added the SQL queries

I know I spelt gallery wrong, I just haven’t gotten around to fixing it yet 🙂
