How did I enable debugging of PHP for PHPStorm?

By

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..

brew, "pear install ...", Log for example..

I had issues while installing Log package from Pear. I used brew to get PHP (5.5.17) running on my MBP. So, back to the installing issue - if I tried to execute following command I got an error .. $ pear install Log No releases available for package "pear.php.net/Log" intallation failed So, failed. Then I tried to download the package using "pear download Log". Failed too. Solution was to go to Log package Pear page  and manually download the package. And in terminal you should executed the same installation command and point to downloaded file.. $ pear install /path/to/downloaded/Log-1.12.8.tar .. output skipped .. install ok: channel://pear.php.net/Log-1.12.8 Done. Anyway, there are probably other (better, more modern) logging libraries out there for PHP applications. Feel free to post your favorite one with short description to comments. Thanks in advance!
