# Using Xdebug
The default development image is shipped with [Xdebug](https://xdebug.org/),
a popular debugger and profiler for PHP.
Because it has a significant performance overhead, the step-by-step debugger is disabled by default.
It can be enabled by setting the `XDEBUG_MODE` environment variable to `debug`.
On Linux and Mac:
```
XDEBUG_MODE=debug docker compose up -d
```
On Windows:
```
set XDEBUG_MODE=debug&& docker compose up -d&set XDEBUG_MODE=
```
## Debugging with Xdebug and PHPStorm
First, [create a PHP debug remote server configuration](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/creating-a-php-debug-server-configuration.html):
1. In the `Settings/Preferences` dialog, go to `PHP | Servers`
2. Create a new server:
* Name: `symfony` (or whatever you want to use for the variable `PHP_IDE_CONFIG`)
* Host: `localhost` (or the one defined using the `SERVER_NAME` environment variable)
* Port: `443`
* Debugger: `Xdebug`
* Check `Use path mappings`
* Absolute path on the server: `/app`
You can now use the debugger!
1. In PHPStorm, open the `Run` menu and click on `Start Listening for PHP Debug Connections`
2. Add the `XDEBUG_SESSION=PHPSTORM` query parameter to the URL of the page you want to debug, or use [other available triggers](https://xdebug.org/docs/step_debug#activate_debugger)
Alternatively, you can use [the **Xdebug extension**](https://xdebug.org/docs/step_debug#browser-extensions) for your preferred web browser.
3. On command line, we might need to tell PHPStorm which [path mapping configuration](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/zero-configuration-debugging-cli.html#configure-path-mappings) should be used, set the value of the PHP_IDE_CONFIG environment variable to `serverName=symfony`, where `symfony` is the name of the debug server configured higher.
Example:
```console
XDEBUG_SESSION=1 PHP_IDE_CONFIG="serverName=symfony" php bin/console ...
```
## Debugging with Xdebug and VScode
1. Install necessery [PHP extension for VScode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DEVSENSE.phptools-vscode).
2. Add [debug configuration](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging#_launch-configurations) into your `.vscode\launch.json` file.
Example:
```
{
"name": "Listen for Xdebug",
"type": "php",
"request": "launch",
"port": 9003,
"pathMappings": {
"/app": "${workspaceFolder}"
}
}
```
3. Use [Run and Debug](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging) options and run `Listen for Xdebug` command to listen for upcomming connections with [the **Xdebug extension**](https://xdebug.org/docs/step_debug#browser-extensions) installed and active.
## Troubleshooting
Inspect the installation with the following command. The Xdebug version should be displayed.
```console
$ docker compose exec php php --version
PHP ...
with Xdebug v3.x.x ...
```
