There are some that are specific to WordPress, e.g. as plugins, some allow general […]

I’ll be presenting a talk titled: "Better Debugging With Xdebug".

It's in Verona, Italy, on May 14-15th 2026.

Last year I visited 2 big European CMS #flagship events.

One where a talk about sustainability was scheduled in a side event in a basement.
The other where a talk about this was scheduled in the regular main event scheme featuring a joint presentation from Drupal and Typo3 folks.
Also, in this […]

Xdebug in DDEV: Understanding Step Debugging and Built-In Diagnostics Randy Fay explains how Xdebug step debugging works inside DDEV — and why understanding its reverse connection model prevents hours of frustration when things go wrong. His guide walks through Docker networking, IDE listeners, and built-in tools like ...

Xdebug in DDEV usually “just works” — until it doesn’t.

Randy Fay explains the reverse connection model, Docker networking layers, and how ddev utility xdebug-diagnose simplifies troubleshooting.

Debug pane in PhpStorm. Execution is paused at composer.phar:14 but the variables pane shows "Can't compute source position. The script 'composer.phar' isn't associated with any text file type."

A third-party #Composer plugin is breaking my Composer scripts and I can't trouble-shoot it because #PhpStorm is unable to step debug into Composer phar archive, even though 13yo blog articles suggest it should, and my command's code is not even called when […]

I'm surprised there isn't more noise about #PhpStorm debugger showing PHP lazy objects used by #Doctrine as "Collecting data...". I wonder if there's something in our #Symfony or #PHP setup that triggers this bug and it's otherwise uncommon. It seems everything's alright at #Xdebug side, but […]

I have just released Xdebug 3.5.0!

In the next few weeks I will create some content (text, and perhaps video) highlighting some new features in more detail.

Please share it with the world!

Profiling PHP Applications with Xdebug Watch on the Rawkode Academy

Learn how to profile PHP applications with Xdebug! 🚀 @rawkode.dev and Derick Rethans dive into debugging, var_dump upgrades, and profiling your code. Don't miss this deep dive into optimizing your PHP apps! 👨💻 #Xdebug #PHP

📊 Seamless integration with existing #Xdebug debugging workflows and popular #IDE environments like #PhpStorm and #VSCode. Works with all standard step debugging protocols

🎯 Native path mapping allows you to mark directories or files as "skip" in the debugger. When you "step in," #Xdebug jumps straight into your own code, bypassing composer autoloaders and vendor directories

🚀 Coming to #Xdebug 3.5: "Skipping Elements While Debugging" feature! Skip entire directories or specific files while stepping through your #PHP code

🧵 👇

📼 I've made a new video, demoing a new feature coming up in Xdebug 3.5: Skipping lines, files, and directories while debugging: https://youtu.be/hYmCjrBwNNg

Once https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/19670 gets merged, and the accompanying patch for Xdebug, you will be able to see the intermediate values passing through PHP 8.5's pipes!
