Validate the configuration of a debugging engine

Last modified: 13 April 2023

Run | Web Server Debug Validation

PhpStorm can validate your configuration of Xdebug or Zend Debugger and tell you if some setting is missing or inconsistent with other settings. When configuring the PHP interpreter for a project, PhpStorm informs you whether a debugger is installed in your local PHP development environment and reports on the Xdebug or Zend Debugger version used. For details, see Configure a debugging engine, Configure local PHP interpreters, and Configure remote PHP interpreters.

You can also get more detailed information about the debugging engine on a local or remote web server with the Validate Debugger Configuration on Web Server dialog.
