    🪲 Install and Configure xDebug on Ubuntu/Mac and PhpStorm 🐘


Assuming that you have already installed php and apache
Install xDebug php extension

# Ubuntu 16.04, php 7.0
sudo apt-get install php-xdebug

# Ubuntu 14.04, php 5.6 
sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug

# Mac OS with Homebrew
# brew install php<version>-xdebug
# Example for php v5.6
brew install php56-xdebug


Now edit your php.ini (for me it was /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini) and add these lines at last
You can run locate php.ini to find php.ini file location

[Xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/lib/php/20151012/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.idekey = PHPSTORM
xdebug.max_nesting_level = 512
xdebug.file_link_format = phpstorm://open?%f:%l


Above config is bare minimum, read all options here
Make sure xdebug.so path is correct in above configuration
To find the xdebug.so file path; run this command

locate xdebug.so


Above command will return the correct path to xdebug.so file


Now check php version


php --version


Above command should return like this

PHP 7.0.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.4 (cli) ( NTS )
