Answer 1

Try this,

Increasing max_nesting_level value

Edit the php.ini file and search for [xdebug]. You should find a block containing the xdebug extension location and settings.

See if there is already an entry xdebug.max_nesting_level, if not, just add it at the end of the block with a higher value than 100:

xdebug.max_nesting_level=256

Try increasing it if 256 is not sufficient.
