phpinfo() discrepancies

Hi there,

What is your OS?

Thing is: on Linux/Mac it's quite common these days to see separate php.ini for CLI and Apache. So ... check "php --ini" or phpinfo() header to see what php.ini files were used.

P.S. For CLI debug, especially if it's initiated from IDE, PhpStorm will add all needed options anyway .. so it's not super critical (unless we are talking about more/different settings).

P.P.S. I have seen setups where xdebug.remote_enable was constantly showing "0" in PhpStorm but debug was still working...

Thanks for your response,

I ran php --ini and got back this:

I'm not sure where to find the phpinfo() header.

I'm not attempting to use CLI debug at the moment. I have installed the xdebug helper extension for chrome.

I've also validated my debug configuration and got back this:

When I fire up the xdebug helper and activate PHPStorm's debug listening I'm not getting anything back. I'm not sure where to go from here.

Thanks,

-Adam

At the very top / first table.

1. Collect xdebug log -- it should tell what's happening (if it tries to connect and where)

2. Better change xdebug port to be 9001 (in both php.ini and PhpStorm) -- 9000 is also used by php-fpm by default .. so it may connect there instead of IDE (if you have php-fpm installed, of course; which you may have without knowing it).

3. With "phone handle" icon enabled in PhpStorm -- check what app is actually listening on 9000 port, e.g. sudo lsof -nP -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN

4. In general (in case you have not seen it yet): https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Debugging+with+PhpStorm

Thanks for the info. I have implemented your suggestions with some success but I'm still not seeing the debug panel in PHPStorm. I've enabled xdebug logging as well as PHPStorm logging.

I do not know where your message has disappeared (it's not currently showing .. maybe on moderation) ... but from what I saw you had a successful debug session (at very least from communication point of view) -- Xdebug connected to IDE just fine.

Do you have any symbolic links in the project path?

What file have you tried to debug? Were there any breakpoints set? Any IDE popups (like "This session has finished without hitting any breakpoint" etc)?

TBH -- a screencast with details would be great here.

Sorry I made some edits to obfuscate some paths. The comment states "pending approval".

> Do you have any symbolic links in the project path?

Yes there is a symlink within the project.

> What file have you tried to debug? Were there any breakpoints set? Any IDE popups (like "This session has finished without hitting any breakpoint" etc)?

I have set a breakpoint as well as implemented xdebug_break(). I do not get any messages in Event Log.

I can try to put together a screencast if that would help.

Thanks

>Yes there is a symlink within the project.

In such case you need to setup the right path mapping so IDE can map real path (after PHP/xdebug resolves it) to what IDE sees. Without correct path ... the breakpoint gets set for a file that is not getting executed (from PHP point of view).

That's, of course, if you have not done it already -- "Settings/Preferences | Languages & Frameworks | PHP | Servers"

@Andriy thank you for your help. The server configuration was exactly what I needed. Thanks again!
