php-laravelHow do I configure Xdebug in the php.ini file for a Laravel project?

In order to configure Xdebug in the php.ini file for a Laravel project, the following steps should be taken:

1. Add the Xdebug extension to your php.ini file:

zend_extension = <path-to-xdebug>/xdebug.so

2. Configure the Xdebug settings in the php.ini file:

xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_host = 127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode = req

3. Configure the Xdebug settings for your Laravel project:

xdebug.max_nesting_level = 256
xdebug.idekey = "your-ide-key"

4. Restart your web server to apply the changes.

5. Test the Xdebug configuration with the following command:

php -i | grep xdebug

The output should look like this:

xdebug.auto_trace => Off => Off
xdebug.cli_color => 0 => 0
