XDebug (PHP)

Quick guide

You will need an open workspace for this
Now, configure PHP to enable XDebug debugging. From CodeLite menu bar, click on the PHP → Run XDebug Setup Wizard
At the end of the wizard, copy the text and paste it inside your php.ini file
Your php.ini should also have a section similar to this:

[xdebug]
zend_extension=C:\php74\ext\php_xdebug.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.idekey="codeliteide"
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000

Next, change directory to the workspace folder (in my case it was: C:\Users\Eran\Documents\TestPHP and start PHP debug web server like this

cd C:\Users\Eran\Documents\TestPHP
C:\php74\php.exe -S 127.0.0.1:80 -t .

Right click on your project folder and add new PHP file, name it test.php with the following content:

<?php

$test123 = "hello world";

$arr = [];
$arr[] = "Hello";
$arr[] = "World";


function baz($i) {
    echo $i."<br>";
}

function foo($i) {
    baz($i);
}

for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++){
    foo($i);
}

Place a breakpoint at the for loop (keyboard shortcut F9)
Click on the Wait for debugger to connect button

wait to connect

Open a web browser and type in the address bar: http://127.0.0.1/test.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=codeliteide
Clicking the ENTER button in the browser, the debug session starts
