After pouring thru countless web pages and after no response from jet brains support your video has finally allowed me to do php remote debugging using MacOS El Capitan with PhpStorm and MAMP Pro 3.5. Thank you ...

Your video makes no assumptions and explains everything well Good JOB!!! I have been searching for several days, trying to find out how to setup PhpStorm and Xdebug. All the other video's assume a lot of setting and installs are already in place.

Thanks a ton bud!
I wanted to use xdebug a few months ago but gave up on it coz there was no proper 'How to' article for it...
But now my project really needed xdebug, I searched youtube and found your video!!! And bam! Now xdebug works like a charm :)

As others said, I've been looking all day and this was the only thing that helped. HUGE help. FYI, I skipped the step where you changed the computer's version in Terminal and it still works fine. Thanks again.

you are the best!...turning off the other settings in php.ini was what made it work for me...but i only did that by following your tutorial, keep up the great work!

Thank you so much!!! I tried getting a debugger set up for many hours, till I found your video. Working without a debugger on complex code can be a nightmare. I really appreciate your video and your instructions doc.

Brilliant! Thank you very much. It has, off and on, taken me months to get this working and I finally found this video that explained everything in the steps I needed.

[SteelJokers]

Outstanding explanation!  I've been fussing with getting the debugger to work correctly for days!  Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks a million man!
I have been postponed setting up Xdebug for a while, thinking it will be too complicated.
But your tutorial made it as simple as possible! Thanks!

i am doing this for last two weeks but no luck. and your solution worked straight out of the box. Thanks a Million. :)

My debugger wouldn't start until I restarted MAMP. That's just incase anyone else found it not working straight away :) Great tutorial mate :))

[AJRoach-zvik]

Great job!  xdebug is up and running.  Very much appreciate you taking the time to go through this!

[lyftdan]
