Install xdebug with laravel in vscode ubuntu 20.04 with different version of php

Different php version has different xdebug.

follow xdebug installtion step according to php version setuped in your machine

php7.4 -v
php -v
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

php7.4 version and php8 version details

this will return the php version, if xdebug is configured it will show , if not let's install it

let's install xdebug

sudo apt install php7.4-xdebug
sudo apt install php-xdebug
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
php7.4 --ini
php --ini
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

php ini details

look for

/etc/php/7.4/mods-available/xdebug.ini
/etc/php/8.0/mods-available/xdebug.ini

and add this to /etc/php/7.4/mods-available/xdebug.ini

; zend_extension=xdebug.so
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20190902/xdebug.so
xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.start_with_request = yes
xdebug.client_port = 9003
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

and add this to /etc/php/8.0/mods-available/xdebug.ini
for php8.0

; zend_extension=xdebug.so
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20200930/xdebug.so
xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.start_with_request = yes
xdebug.client_port = 9003
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

now type in

php7.4 -v
php -v
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

you should see xdebug string returned in output

Note if you are confused about which php version is needed for which xdebug

to check which xdebug.so files are available use locate, if locate not availbe use this cmd to install it

sudo apt install mlocate
locate xdebug.so
simply paste the details you recieved from

php7.4 -i
php -i
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
