xdebug on OXID Virtual Machine
Since the OXID VM is a good PHP developer tool, it would be great to have the xdebug enabled by default. Â Until XDebug starts to comes pre-installed on the OXID VM, it can be installed on the VM’s in use, using:
apt-get install php5-dev
In your /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, please insert either of these lines to load the xdebug.so shared object.
root@oxidvm:# find / -name 'xdebug.so' /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so (for threaded use  of PHP) or
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so (non threaded use)

Most of this post is incorrect.
You can only use zend_extension_ts= with PHP 5.2 and lower, as in PHP 5.3 the _ts suffix no longer works. The colour coding that you *show* is also not an Xdebug issue, but simply a setting in php.ini: html_errors=1
Thank you Derick. The html_errors = 1 tip worked.
I’m leaving the zend_extension_ts part in the original post for completeness for future readers.
