[@PoodlePlugins]

Thanks for this. I can't set up a local development for a specific site so I'm going to put xdebug on the staging server instead. This will allow me to do that

[@temoeuashvili4165]

It is working, Thank you!

[@eloquent2200]

Thank you!

I don't know why they downvote this video
THIS WORKS 100% in 2024

[@Mupetz]

dear sir, i had try, configure it, and run it with chrome & Firefox Developer, but when i click refresh button on the browser, the PhpStorm doesn't blinking or capture connections.. i wonder where are my faults.. thank's

[@kristiyanivanov7414]

thanks codeholic!

[@gedwu8]

For me it doesnt work. All settings same, I am just using wamp64. I enable debugging, refresh page and nothing happens. What could be the problem?

[@AlexAlex-hd7ij]

I do not see that you have installed xdebug.dll

[@mohamedgaber5533]

but why we didn't use phpstorm built in server instead of apache ?

[@TheCodeholic]

PHP Builtin server does not process PHP files. It serves static files only.

[@sofyjohn9876]

from where language and settings?

[@ByAsiLn]

I'm wondering which xdebug version you are using.

[@TheCodeholic]

That video is very old. It uses xdebug veraion 2

[@AvWoN]

Im guessing my PhpStorm should point at the same php install as XAMPP is using, correct?

[@TheCodeholic]

It's not mandatory, but yes it will be good. For better autocompletion and less errors from PHPStorm

[@maicoyamba2964]

Good day Sir, i cannot see debug panel on the lower portion. pls help. thank you

Failed loading Zend extension 'php_xdebug.dll'

[@haiuonglam9704]

i wonder why you need to install debug extension for chrome? can you make it sense?

[@TheCodeholic]

The extension is the easiest way to start and stop debugging. It also gives you possibility to use other debugger such as zend debug.

[@haiuonglam9704]

@@TheCodeholic oh i see, not sure but maybe new browser versions dont require to confirm start and stop debugging with third party tool. I've used X-debug with PHP storm (use xampp for windows) for over 2 years and realize that all i need is config something in php.ini file

[@TheCodeholic]

In my opinion That's because you configured your php.ini file to automatically start debugging when it sees breakpoints, if you do not want debugging any more you will have to disable config in php.ini or remove breakpoints. But the extension gives you possibility to start and end debugging when you want. Just make sure you change your config in php.ini so that it does not automatically start debugging.

[@WH-prod]

Hey there, my show some error,cold you help me?
Cannot accept external Xdebug connection: Cannot evaluate expression 'isset($_SERVER['PHP_IDE_CONFIG'])'

[@TheCodeholic]

Did you google this error? What does google tell you?

[@WH-prod]

@@TheCodeholic so, the problem was in my Windows. I formated my pc, and in the first configuration worked very well

[@michelgaudry]

appilcations -> applications
