unreadable output with var_dump on xampp windows

I think in previous version i could output a variable with var_dump without print "<pre>" print "</pre>" firebug is not installed on my firefox and i'm not using xdebug.

Formally i have even red colored and nicely formatted output.Now it's completly unreadable.Can anyonw give me a tips n how to correct that.And html_errors is on from what i saw in php_info.thanks for reading this.

You were using Xdebug before; you're not using it now. Without it, there are no colors, and there are no HTML line breaks (use nl2br, change the Content-type header to text/plain or put the output in a <pre> block).

See the "Variable Display Features" on the manual of Xdebug.

Un-comment this line in you php.ini file.

zend_extension = "D:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"

This topic helped me at the time I was working in PHP5. With a fresh install of Xampp (PHP 7+), xdebug is no longer installed. It must be done manually. Below the explanations :

Goto https://xdebug.org/wizard.php
Make a phpinfo(); on your project and paste it in the textarea on the xdebug website
It returns some informations on your system like Xdebug installed: no
Follow the instructions in the bottom of the results page
After the manipulation, if you check again your phpinfo();

This time we get Xdebug installed: 2.6.0. xdebug works !

The new Xdebug interface is less explicit than before. You must obviously add the absolute path pointing to the dll for it to work !
