Debug PHP using VS Code breakpoints

Vs code uses an excellent lightweight code editor with numerous and growing plug-in tools. Using vs code to debug php code is more convenient and concise, so let's take a look at it.

1. Install the XDebug extension

The most common way to debug php code is the XDebug extension. First, we need to install this extension tool.

Below, I recommend a very convenient method to install the XDebug extension. First, create a phpinfo file to get the contents of the phpinfo, and copy them to the input box in the XDebug detection URL, as shown below:

After a while, the website will analyze the most suitable xdebug version for your current php environment and provide a download link, as shown in the following figure:

When the download is complete, copy the file to the extension directory of php, that is, the ext folder in the installation directory.

two。 Set PHP to use XDebug

Add a line of zend_extension=path/to/xdebug to the php.ini configuration file, where path/to/xdebug is the installation directory of xdebug and the file name.

Now, if you look at the output of the phpinfo file again, you should see that xdebug is enabled.

3. Enable remote debugging

Add a configuration item for xdebug to the php.ini configuration file:

[XDebug] xdebug.remote_enable = 1xdebug.remote_autostart = 1

4. Add extensions to VS Code

Search vs code for the PHP Debug extension and install it.

After the installation is complete, you can test it. Start debugging in the debug interface of vs code, and choose to add the configuration of xdebug.
