🎉 I've just released @Xdebug 3.3.0alpha2, with preliminary support for PHP 8.3.

:xdebug: It also adds some functionality to xdebug_get_function_stack(), more about that later!

🐛 Uploading it to PECL didn't work, as due to an upgrade, MySQL now (finally) rejects characters that the table charset wouldn't allow, instead of just corrupting it. That took two hours to debug and fix. PECL will warn now → https://github.com/php/web-pecl/commit/cf57e9370820fa7738c782a751b47de713e0c3be

Just as well #xdebug is so useful, otherwise there would be a bounty on it. Damn thing was working last night, now it isn’t 😂

Oh good. The latest PHPStorm/IntelliJ update broke all of my #Xdebug configurations. That's nice of them. #FML #PHP

Hey, #php people, just got the #xdebug newsletter. In case you have a couple of coins to toss:
„I am currently 38% towards my $2,500 per month goal, which is set to allow continued maintenance of Xdebug.“ from @derickr

Following a request from me and some colleagues, my company is about to become a (hopefully) significant support and contributor of @derickr, awesome creator and maintainer of @Xdebug 🥳

As a daily #PHP developer, it's a tool I could not work without, so I'm happy we could do a little bit to help. 💪

Setting up a Local #WordPress Development Environment with #Docker, #Xdebug, and #PhpStorm

https://wpml.org/tutorials/2023/06/local-wordpress-development-with-docker-phpstorm-xdebug/

I’m trying to run “Debug” (for step-debugging with #Xdebug) in #PhpStorm while running a #Pest test. I do this all the time with standard #PHPUnit tests, and I’ve never had this problem…

The test runner stops immediately, and PhpStorm reports in the console, “Test framework quit unexpectedly.”

Has anyone else seen this error? Do you know what causes it?

If you are looking at optimizing your #PHP code, #xdebug profiling feature, with #KCacheGrind is absolutely amazing :)

I've helped a co-worker, on multiple occasions, setup their #XDebug setup in PHPStorm. It's a little more complex than normal as it uses container based runtimes and such but it's still pretty straight forward.

*Every time* I pair with them their code is littered with "# delete me" echo or print_r statements. Hundreds of them. Littered everywhere.

It's really quite frustrating. 😩

Been diving into #XDebug profiling for my #WordPress plugin development. Finding it, both, fascinating and overwhelming. Do you know of any easy to digest resources for this? I have it working and looking at the files through #KCachegrind.

#renovate can update not only dependencies but also seemingly random strings in e.g. Dockerfiles.

E.g. with the `regexManagers:dockerfileVersions` preset and some meta info it can update the following #Xdebug ARG in a Dockerfile:

```
# renovate: datasource=github-tags depName=xdebug/xdebug versioning=loose
ARG XDEBUG_VERSION=3.1.6
```

Anyone interested in knowing how to setup #xdebug & #phpstorm for #Wordpress development?
