Tools (46)

Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

  • add_logpoint

    Add a logpoint that logs messages without stopping execution. Use {varName} placeholders for variables.

  • add_step_filter

    Add a step filter to skip certain files/directories during stepping (e.g., vendor code)

  • add_watch

    Add a watch expression that will be evaluated on each break. Watch expressions persist across steps.

  • capture_request_context

    Capture the current HTTP request context ($_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE, headers)

  • capture_snapshot

    Capture a snapshot of the current debug state for the export report

  • close_session

    Close and terminate a debug session

  • continue

    Continue script execution until the next breakpoint or end of script

  • detach

    Detach from the debug session and let the script continue running without debugging

  • evaluate

    Evaluate a PHP expression in the current context. Returns the result of the expression. Use for calculations, method calls, or inspecting computed values.

  • evaluate_watches

    Evaluate all watch expressions and return their current values

  • export_session

    Export the current debug session as a report

  • get_contexts

    Get available variable contexts (Local, Superglobals, User-defined constants) at the current position

  • get_coverage_report

    Get the current code coverage report

  • get_function_history

    Get the history of function calls made during debugging

  • get_logpoint_history

    Get the log output history from logpoints

Show 31 more tools
  • get_memory_timeline

    Get memory usage timeline from profiling

  • get_profile_stats

    Get current profiling statistics

  • get_session_state

    Get detailed state of a specific debug session including current position and status

  • get_source

    Get the source code of a file or a specific line range

  • get_stack_trace

    Get the current call stack showing all function calls leading to the current position

  • get_variable

    Get a specific variable by name, including nested properties. Use PHP syntax for nested access (e.g., '$user->name', '$array[0]', '$obj->items[2]->value')

  • get_variables

    List all variables in scope with metadata (names, types, child counts). Use get_variable() to inspect specific variable values. Returns lightweight metadata for browsing the variable tree.

  • list_breakpoints

    List all breakpoints including both active session breakpoints and pending breakpoints

  • list_debug_profiles

    List all saved debug profiles

  • list_sessions

    List all active PHP debug sessions with their current state

  • list_step_filters

    List all step filter rules

  • list_watches

    List all active watch expressions

  • load_debug_profile

    Load a saved debug profile

  • remove_breakpoint

    Remove a breakpoint by its ID. Works for both active session breakpoints and pending breakpoints.

  • remove_logpoint

    Remove a logpoint

  • remove_watch

    Remove a watch expression

  • save_debug_profile

    Save the current debug configuration (breakpoints, watches, filters) as a named profile

  • set_active_session

    Set which debug session should be the active/default session for subsequent commands

  • set_breakpoint

    Set a breakpoint in PHP code. Supports line breakpoints and conditional breakpoints with hit counts. Can be set before a debug session starts - breakpoints will be applied when a session connects.

  • set_call_breakpoint

    Set a breakpoint that triggers when a specific function is called. Can be set before a debug session starts.

  • set_exception_breakpoint

    Set a breakpoint that triggers when a specific exception is thrown. Can be set before a debug session starts.

  • set_variable

    Set the value of a variable in the current scope

  • start_coverage

    Start tracking code coverage during debugging

  • start_profiling

    Start profiling to track memory usage and execution time

  • step_into

    Step into the next function call, or to the next line if not a function call. This follows execution into called functions.

  • step_out

    Step out of the current function. Execution continues until the current function returns.

  • step_over

    Step over to the next line in the current scope. Function calls are executed but not stepped into.

  • stop

    Stop the debug session and terminate script execution immediately

  • stop_coverage

    Stop tracking code coverage and get the report

  • stop_profiling

    Stop profiling and get the results

  • update_breakpoint

    Update a breakpoint (enable/disable or change hit conditions). Works for both active session and pending breakpoints.
