The core of this tutorial requires Lando and PHPStorm to be running on your machine. In this article I will share with you my basic setup to get up and running with Xdebug 3. a way to step through your code in your IDE or editor while the script is executing. Xdebug is an extension for PHP, and provides a range of features to improve the PHP development experience. When I am coding, I consider Xdebug to be of immense value for debugging and defining variables. In addition, I use PHPStorm for coding, an integrated development environment or IDE.


Recently, I onboarded to a new project that required me to use Lando, another popular local development server. For my local Drupal development environment over the past few years, I’ve been quite happy using Docksal for my projects.
