Locate "xdebug.ini" on your server (location can be different depening on operating system and configuration, it is usually located in the folder where your xdebug extension is installed).

In "xdebug.ini" find "xdebug.max_nesting_level=" and change the value to 256. If you cannnot find "xdebug.max_nesting_level=" in the file, just add "xdebug.max_nesting_level=256" to the end of the file. This sets the default.

You can also add this line to your "php.ini" and it will also set the default value.

Or you can change it on the fly with php like this:

<?php
   ini_set('xdebug.max_nesting_level', 256);
?>

Changing the value from within your PHP script will only use the value while the script is running, once the script ends, the value will return to the default value set in the .ini file.
