This allows you to use the KCacheGrind tool (Linux,) to analyse your profiling data.  Xdebug profiler is incorporated in the Xdebug tool. Therefore you first need to download, install, and enable Xdebug itself and after that enable the profiling functionality within it. Install x-debug through apache sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug Enabling Xdebug integration with the PHP engine Once xdebug is installed, you can enable the xdebug(profiler) to work with PHP by adding following lines at the end of  php.ini  file. [xdebug]   zend_extension= "/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so"    ;path to xdebug.so xdeb...
