"php.validate.executablePath": "D:/xampp/php/php.exe",
//地址是php.exe文件所在的位置

3. Configure Debug

The launch.json that pops out is the default and does not need to be changed.

4. Then simply debug and verify whether the configuration is successful.

Note that you must open a folder to successfully set breakpoint debugging. A single file is invalid. You can choose D:/xampp/php/www

<?php
$a = &#39;hello world&#39;;
echo $a;
?>

to set a breakpoint and then start debugging.

5. Open the php to be debugged in the browser (not the file path but the address of the server (http://localhost:3000/hello.php)), VSCode will hit the Breakpoint location.

6. Finally, it is recommended to install this plug-in: PHP Server

You can choose to right-click PHP Server: Serve project and jump directly to the browser
