How did I enable debugging of PHP for PHPStorm?


There is a "debug" button next to "run" button in PHPStorm. What for? (c:

From PHPStorm web help I read that xdebug is supported. There was a nice wizard that helped me through the installation process. I got stuck by the 5th and 6th point - "./configure" and "make". Found a solution here. Also it was necessary to update my XCode to enable command line tools like "make" for OS X.

In the wizard, there is a following step "cp modules/xdebug.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525". Be aware that "no-debug-non-zts-20100525" should be a folder. And "xdebug.so" should be copied inside this folder. Had some issues where "xdebug.so" were copied as file named "no-debug-non-zts-20100525" into "extensions" folder.

And it works now..

In folder I just created, I executed following command: "php -S localhost:8000 -t public" to start local back end server -  http://localhost:8000. So far everything went smoothly. So I started build something amazing, like script of Laravel is suggesting before it is finishing its job. Since the goal for me was to build a web application that will get its data from the back end of the same hos...
