![]() You may want to rename the auto-configured server in Preferences > PHP > Servers. You should see a popup like this in PHPStorm, almost immediately:Īfter you accept you should be able to drop a breakpoint in your code and PHPStorm should catch it. The server will respond faster if you stop listening when you’re not needing to use xdebug. You will need to start and stop when you want to listen or stop listening. I’ve highlighted the most important settings.Ĭlick the Run > Start Listening for PHP Debug Connections. Open Preferences > PHP > Debug and configure as shown below. PHPStan and Psalm can detect issues directly in the code editor or in batch mode. If you prefer the start the server through PHPStorm, use Run > Edit Configurations… to add a new “PHP Built-in Web Server”: Step 4: Configure xdebug in PHPStorm: Read on for details on all the new features and significant updates, along with a ton of GIFs PHP 8: support for all language features, and even open-source Custom Attributes. If you want to change the port, you can either set an env variable:Įxport SERVER_PORT="8080" php artisan serve or you can set If you want your system (or is it Laravel’s artisan?) to pick the port automatically, use You can then set breakpoints in the compiled file to pause execution when the view is loaded.Restart php to make sure the xdebug settings are applied. Load the page, and a compiled file should be output. Routes Web Breakpoint Activated Debugging Laravel Viewsĭebugging views requires setting breakpoints in the appropriate compiled template for the view found in storage → framework → views Compiled Laravel Views Folder I generally make sure that if the request is not pausing, that all absolute path maps are set up at each directory level and the file that I’m trying to debug. Servers link in the warning, and it will bring you to the path mappings for the server that was created when the incoming debug request was accepted. This is generally an issue with the path mappings, as the warning says. When you reload the page again, you will likely get a warning from PHPStorm that the debug sessions finished without pausing. This should put a red dot indicating that a breakpoint is set, and code execution should pause here. Open the file routes/web.php and click to the left of the root route by the line number. Leave all options as is, and select Accept. Refresh the laravel demo app, and PHPStorm should trigger a prompt for an Incoming Connection from Xdebug. Firfox Xdebug Helper Disabledįirefox Disabled Firfox Xdebug Helper Enabled PHPStorm Debug Toolbarįrom your browser tab with the Laravel demo page open, update your xdebug helper to be enabled. If you are using the default toolbar set up, you should see the following icons. Hit “Apply” and “OK” and then the same combo again on the next Settings view.įrom the Tool Bar, select Run → Start Listening for PHP Debug Connections Hit “OK” and then we should see a new Remote Interpreter set up. Select the Docker radio button in the “Configure Remote PHP Interpreter” window, and then select the image name from the drop down. In my case, the image name is devwithlando/php:7.3-apache-2 docker ps Output Move into your preferred projects working directory, create a project directory, enter it, and initialize a lando project. Guide expects user already has the lando cli installed Future posts will explore other IDEs, Xdebug functionality, and quirks of debugging some features on various PHP frameworks. This post will be a tutorial in how to set up Lando (a Docker abstraction) PHPStorm, and a default Laravel app. Too often, I hear that the set up is hard, and that a quick var_dump is good enough. While PHPStorm did give me a leg up, I still found that only time, repetition, and review of the documentation would truly get me to the promised land.įast forward to present times: I still find myself explaining to my colleagues what value a good debugger can provide. I had read about their zero config Xdebug set up, and gave it a shot. At some point, I decided to pay my way out of the IDE set up by paying for PHPStorm. I had issues with the local server setup. Upon searching, I came across Xdebug.Įarly on, a working Xdebug set up constantly eluded me. When I understood that I could view the data in all variables in memory at the paused point of code execution, I knew there had to be a better way for other development workflows than just JS debugging in browser. A little over 3 years ago, I first experienced Chrome’s Devtools JS debugger. Following in the footsteps of my colleagues, I learned to use var_dump, print_r, and exit() to print information about my PHP variables and stop my code execution.
