Guess this theme repeated here 1000 times, but I didn't find why VSCode cannot debug PHP code.
- Latest VSCode with all required PHP extensions (PHP Debug also). Windows 11.
php --version:
PHP 8.3.9 (cli) (built: Jul 2 2024 18:17:57) (NTS Visual C++ 2019 x64)

- xdebug section in php.ini is:
[xdebug]
zend_extension=xdebug
xdebug.mode=debug
xdebug.client_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.client_port=9003
xdebug.start_with_request = yes
xdebug.discover_client_host = true
xdebug.log_level = 0
- VSCode launch.json:

"configurations": [
{
"name": "Listen for Xdebug",

- Start Laravel Development Server, put debug breakpoint in right place, then open page in Firefox (with Xdebug helper set in "Debug" mode) - nothing debugged, just ordinal execution.
xdebug.log_level = 0(by default it would be level7) 2) Enable Xdebug log, start your debug and try to debug. Then check the Xdebug log and see what it has to say -- if it tries to connect at all and what the response is. 3)netstat -tan | grep 9003-- that's nice... but which app/process is actually listening on that port? Make sure it's VSCode (run the same when VSCode is closed, maybe you have some other app already on that port)
