The reason for the presence of Xdebug not LOADED as ZEND extension is that it is easy to load Xdebug as a php extension when installing Xdebug because we have copied the Php\ext DLL file into the Xdebug directory. Added a php.ini file to the

Extension=php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.3-vc6.dll

This is the wrong Xdebug installation method and must be loaded in Zend mode.
