PHP=$(which php)
XDEBUG=$($PHP -i | grep -i xdebug | grep -i enabled)
INI=$($PHP -i | grep "xdebug.ini")
 
echo "Found xdebug.ini at $INI"

if [ -z "$XDEBUG" ]; then
    echo "Xdebug is OFF"
else
    echo "Xdebug is ON"
fi

if [ "$1" != "on" -a "$1" != "off" ]; then
    echo "Usage: xdebug { on | off }"
    exit 2
fi
 
if [ -z "$INI" ]; then
    echo "Cannot detect xdebug.ini location";
    exit 1;
fi
 
echo -n "Turning $1 Xdebug ... "
if [ "off" == "$1" ]; then
    sed --in-place --follow-symlinks "s/^/;/g" "$INI"
elif [ "on" == "$1" ]; then
    sed --in-place --follow-symlinks "s/^;*//g" "$INI"
fi
echo "done"
echo
echo "Remember to restart Apache if you're debugging in browser"
echo
exit 0

Neat script, but a little comma is wrecking my day: Found xdebug.ini at /etc/php.d/xdebug.ini,

INI=$($PHP -i | grep "xdebug.ini"| tr -d ',') did it for me.
