PHP 8 with Xdebug 3 on Apple M1

We can install Xdebug via pecl on MacOS with Homebrew. Paste that in terminal.

pecl install xdebug

And see if the php interpreter with Xdebug working:

d8devs@MBP-von-d8devs project % php -v
PHP 8.0.8 (cli) (built: Jul 12 2021 02:58:53) ( NTS )

with Xdebug v3.0.4, Copyright (c) 2002-2021, by Derick Rethans

to correctly configuration Xdebug, locate (or create) section in php.ini file. Finding your currently php.ini location, type this in terminal: php --ini

Open the php.ini file.

vim /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.0/php.ini

add it as follows at the last lines of file

; List of h....

...

xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.client = 127.0.0.1
xdebug.idekey = PHPSTORM
xdebug.start_with_request = yes

Enjoy! 😊
