How to enable memory monitoring in Xdebug? - php

I am trying to use Xdebug for my Drupal project debugging. In some documentations, I saw that the Xdebug is able to find memory leaks as well. I tried to use that facility. But I am not getting any logs regarding that.
I configured my 20-xdebug.ini as follows
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host = 127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode = req
xdebug.profiler_enable=0
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger=1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "/home/myname/Desktop/xdebug/"
xdebug.trace_output_dir="/home/myname/Desktop/xdebug/"
xdebug.remote_log="/home/myname/Desktop/xdebug/xdebug.log"
xdebug.auto_trace=1
xdebug.collect_params=1
xdebug.trace_format=1
xdebug.idekey=netbeans-xdebug
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
I am able to connect NetBeans with Xdebug and I can go through each break points. But there are no logs regarding this in the /tmp folder and there are no log files in the above given paths as well.
Am I doing something wrong? Please assist me on this.

maybe you need
xdebug.show_mem_delta = 1
xdebug.show_mem_delta
Type: integer, Default value: 0
When this setting is set to something != 0 Xdebug's human-readable
generated trace files will show the difference in memory usage between
function calls. If Xdebug is configured to generate computer-readable
trace files then they will always show this information.

PHP 8 Xdebug 3 Stack trace display output

How can I get Xdebug v3.1.1 to display output "beautified" with PHP 8.1?
Is it necessary to turn on some specific Xdebug configuration option in php.ini?
This is how I need the output on screen to look like:
And this is how it currently looks like:
This is my current Xdebug configuration in php.ini for PHP 8.1:
[XDebug]
xdebug.client_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.client_port=9000
xdebug.mode=debug
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.start_with_request=trigger
xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp
xdebug.start_with_request=yes
xdebug.log_level = 0
xdebug.force_display_errors=1
xdebug.force_error_reporting=1
xdebug.show_error_trace=1
xdebug.show_exception_trace=1
xdebug.cli_color = 1
xdebug.trace_format=1
xdebug.show_local_vars=1
You need to also list develop in the debug mode value:
xdebug.mode=debug,develop
https://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#mode
https://xdebug.org/docs/develop#stack_trace
P.S. Rather unrelated... but better stick to the new Xdebug port (9003) and not old one 9000 -- it was changed for a reason (as it was often conflicting with php-fpm that also uses the same TCP 9000 port by default).
Sure, if it works then do not change .. but it's better to use safer option (may save a lot of troubleshooting time on a new machine/different setup in a future).
ALSO: xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp -- this is Xdebug v2, does nothing in Xdebug 3. And dbgp is the ONLY possible value anyway...

How to use visual studio 19 to debug a php app running on an azure Ubuntu VM

I’ve configured the virtual machine, installed apache2, php, MySQL and xdebug. The website works and I’ve configured VS but nothing happens when I debug the project in VS.
Note I have to use a VM because there is some trickery that is being done with open VPN.
I am no expert with PHP as I come from the ASP.NET world and I have never used Xdebug before.
I've been asked to add some additional information but the /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini file is too large to add into this post. If you want some more information please ask for a section and I will post it.
In the mods-available folder is an xdebug.ini file that contains:
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp
xdebug.remote_host = 127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_log = /tmp/xdebug_remote.log
xdebug.remote_mode = req
xdebug.remote_port = 9000 #if you want to change the port you can change
I've also set up an inbound rule in Azure for the server to a allow port 9000.
When running VS I have set up the Server URL and specified Xdebug Port 9000.
DBGp proxy is not set.
Thank you
Tim
I finally managed to get something to work.
I updated the xdebug.ini like this:
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20170718/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp
xdebug.remote_host = 86.180.220.70
xdebug.remote_log = /tmp/xdebug_remote.log
xdebug.remote_mode = req
xdebug.remote_port = 9000 #if you want to change the port you can change
xdebug.idekey = "php-vs"
And, crucially, opened the firewall on my machine for port 9000.
Now I can't seem to set any break points in php that actually hit.
I'm assuming this has something to do with path mapping - plenty of stuff on google for Code but little if nothing for Visual Studio...
I have to say the documentation for doing things like this is SHOCKINGLY bad. Most examples are for a Windows php.ini file, not for Linux. If your a seasoned php programmer your probably used to it but for a newbie like me its an absolute minefield.

Debugging PHP, from NetBeans using XDebug and XAMPP

I have followed this document:
This is my php.ini
[XDebug]
zend_extension="C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 1
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_host = "localhost"
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_mode = "req"
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
I am running Apache using XAMPP on port 9000:
from NetBeans when I do: Debug -> Debug Project
I get the following:
Port 9,000 is already in occupied. Configure the IDE to use another
port?
XAMPP is the software that is using port 9000 thousand. What do I need to do here? Should I change the XDebug port to 9001? Tools -> Options:
If I do this, I would also need to change php.ini and change the XDebug port to 9001.
Or should I keep using port 9000? I have been different settings, but not able to hit my break point.
I have been using Netbeans for years to code PHP and xdebug has always been a pain. I cant even give you any pointers.
But I switched last year to VS code and I can honestly say that it improved my code, and xdebug is actually easy to connect, and fun to use.
I recommend you give it a try.
This is how I got the debugger running:
When prompted with:
Port 9,000 is already occupied Configure the IDE to use another port?
Click Yes (alternatively you can open the setting from Tools -> Options: Choose PHP -> Debugging)
Set debugger Port to 9001.
update php.ini to have port 9001
[XDebug]
zend_extension="C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 1
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_host = "localhost"
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_mode = "req"
xdebug.remote_port = 9001
Restart XAMPP

Can't figure out to let Xdebug work in combination with PhpStorm and XAMPP

I followed this steps, recommended by Xdebug based on phpinfo():
Download php_xdebug-2.4.0rc4-5.6-vc11.dll
Move the downloaded file to C:\xampp\php\ext
Update C:\xampp\php\php.ini and change the line
zend_extension = C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.4.0rc4-5.6-vc11.dll
Restart the web server
I also unchecked the 'ignore external connections through unregistered server configurations in PhpStorm. In PhpStorm port 9000 is configured. This port isn't used by an other application.
In the php.ini file I listed the following configuration:
[XDebug]
zend_extension = C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.4.0rc4-5.6-vc11.dll
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "C:\xampp\tmp"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
xdebug.remote_enable = 0
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "localhost"
xdebug.trace_output_dir = "C:\xampp\tmp"
The DLL file exists.
I also enabled the debug functionality in chrome via the xdebug addon.
Which step do I miss?
You're probably going to want to set xdebug.remote_enable = 1 or the remote debugging will be disabled.
Also, set the remote debug port phpStorm is set to use:
xdebug.remote_port=9000 (I'm assuming port 9000, it's the default, but check phpstorm)
To debug every request (if you don't have the chrome plugin for a browser for example) use xdebug.remote_autostart = on

Can't start Xdebug session in PHPStorm

I have encounter one problem when I am using PHPStorm 8 under Mac OS, I make some PHP files and I want to debug, but seems my XDebug does not work at all. All my break points just are ignored. I checked my configuration twice and I have tried the online tools on http://xdebug.org/wizard.php
Here's my configuration of my php.ini.
[XDebug]
;zend_extension=opcache.so
zend_extension = /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "localhost"
xdebug.remote_mode = "req"
xdebug.remote_port = 9001
xdebug.idekey = "PHPSTORM"
and I also validated on the phpstorm like that.
I don't know why is that? Anybody has any idea?
Jason
