Issue

I'm trying to connect PhpStorm and debug PHP scripts/webpages with Xdebug, something I've done several times.

This is my php.ini file (the interesting bit):

[xdebug]
zend_extension=C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_port=10000
xdebug.remote_mode=req

I set multiple breakpoints and called xdebug_break() on my index but code execution is not stopping at them.

This is the PhpStorm validation script output for Xdebug:

The output of netstat which shows that PhpStorm is listening on port 10000:

Solution

Change the lines in the php.ini to

xdebug.mode=debug

and set the port on PhpStorm to listen on 9003 instead of 9000.

In xdebug v3 the default xdebug port was changed to 9003: https://xdebug.org/docs/upgrade_guide#Step-Debugging
