debug settings xdebug / PHP Web Application / XAMPP / Zend-Framework 1.x (PHPStrom 10)

Created November 03, 2015 13:39

Dear Community,

I try to debug a zend-framework application with PHPStorm and XDEBUG, but it does not work: the browser starts and shows the ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=12345, xdebug works (phpinfo()), but the debugger-tab always show "waiting for incoming connection with ide key '12345'.

I think the problem is that I have a virtual host that defines the docroot in a directory ("public") in the project directory and a DirectoryIndex set to "bootstrap.php". zend framework do the url-routing of the project and starts the bootstrap-file bootstrap.php. I wonder how should PHPStorm know the bootstrap.php is to observer. I wonder if the "use path mapping" is for this case, but I only want to configure: "All urls are processed from the bootstrap.php, independent from the url."

ok, here my settings:

vhost

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
    DocumentRoot "C:/webroot/audite/public"
    ServerName audite
    <Directory "C:\webroot\audite\public">
        DirectoryIndex bootstrap.php
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The base directory of the project is c:\webroot\audite

screenshots from the phpstrom settings are attached.

It would be great if anyone can help me,

all the best,
Arne

Hi there,

I wonder how should PHPStorm know the bootstrap.php is to observer. I wonder if the "use path mapping" is for this case, but I only want to configure: "All urls are processed from the bootstrap.php, independent from the url."

There is no need for that at all. Debugging works with files and not URLs.

1) Please show your xdebug section of phpinfo() output captured via browser -- to make sure it's installed and configured.

2) Please provide xdebug log for such debug session. Maybe it did not even started -- http://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#remote_log

3) Please place breakpoints on simple statements (single line). Breakpoint may fail or complex or multiline statements (PHP nuances)

4) Try adding xdebug_break(); in your code (programmatic breakpoint) -- but for this you have to have "phone handle" icon to be active

Dear Andry,

I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry. It was a xdebug missconfiguration. the xdebug-section was predefined from xampp, i have left it, and the profiler simply was not enabled. :( I have searched three hours. Sorry again for my post and your time to answer it.
