Literally saved my assignment due today. I am on Linux and this tutorial is still enough info to fill in the gaps my book left.

[masoomsanadi]

your vid is more helpful than the help provided by those who have developed "XDebug" 🙂
liked ur vid.

just a suggestion:
change the headline of previous videos on installing debug before php 8 and xcode 3, as i wasted a lot of time trying with your old video on latest xampp and xcode.

thanks anyway

by any ans, but I can make what I envision, and that's the greatest gift to . You are, without a doubt, an expert teacher. You may

[trueprogr]

I suffered about 3 hours, but you helped me! Thank you :)

[KevinCBurke]

Thank you so so much. I was working on this issue all day until I found your video. It helped so much. Thank you.

[rakinar]

Awesome video! It would be very helpful if you make a detailed video on PHP Debugging.

[AliHassan-wcnb]

Champ Zura is back with a wonderful video.

[sandeepkosta]

Thanks a ton man
I was really expecting the custom configuration so that i can change the port and your video really helped me to achieve it .

[TrivediKavit]

Excellent Video.

Really looking forward to the "How to set up VS Code for PHP development" video.

[Michaela]

Great! Thank you for this great video. Finally it works!

[happydong]

god bless you the xdebug step debug is working,

[ttjordan]

This is the only thing I hate about PHP, getting the debugger working on any new machine.

[rts-design]

Same here. If you have time, it would be great to have a detailed video on PHP Debugging.

Why didn't you launch a full fledged playlist for "How to debug using XDebug"? It is much needed and I'm sure everyone would deeply appreciate it. It is almost impossible to find a decent enough course for debugging as yet. Please do that or suggest some videos/channel which does offer the same. Thanks man!

[sonoftroy]

thanks for the great content, quick question though... do we use zend_extension= xdebug or zend_extension= path to php_xdebug.dll, and why doesn't the setup instructions explain this?

[cbbcbb]

Very good. I use both Windows and Linux.

[DevAmirull]

Please give a separate dedicated video on debugging in VS Code.
Where you talk about debugging in detail.
