Running Dephpugger

To run a webserver debug or a cli application debug, you must start two windows in terminal. In the first to start a webserver built-in or cli and in the second, the debugger.

Open a terminal and run this command:

$ dephpugger debug

You will see this.

The debugger start a socket server in port 9005 and now is waiting a breakpoint. Now, create a simple php file to test.

<?php

# File test.php

$int = 1;
$array = ['one', 'two', 'three'];

echo $int;
echo $array[1];

Now, add a command xdebug_break(); in your code. Like this.

<?php

# File test.php

$int = 1;
$array = ['one', 'two', 'three'];

xdebug_break(); # <-- Add this line

echo $int;
echo $array[1];

Open another terminal, and run.

$ debugger cli test.php

The breakpoint is created, and you can see the debugger start.
