The default name is cachegrind. Accept the default name or define a custom one in compliance with the following standard:. Use the supported format specifiers. When integration with Xdebug profiler is enabled , PhpStorm provides visual representation of profiler snapshots.

PhpStorm opens a separate editor tab with four views where the data are presented based on different criteria. To start debugging an entire application, create debug configuration of the type PHP Web Page , and launch debugging by clicking. See Debug with a PHP web page debug configuration for details.

After that PhpStorm starts listening to the port of the debugging engine used in the current project. Open the starting page of your application in the browser, choose the Start debugger bookmark to activate the debugging engine from the browser, re-load the current page the starting page of the application , and then return to PhpStorm.

In this example, cachegrind output files will contain the URL and the querystring of the page the output was created is for. Once you are happy with the settings.

Save the php. If you find it, you have successfully have all this working. If you do not see it, go back to the php. Now its time to go to your local website. Fire up your favorite browser and type in the URL. The page should load up a little bit slower than usual since xdeubg is running and tabulating calculations. When the page finally finishes, go to the directory you have set under xdebug. You should see some cachgrind output files typically looking something like: cachegrind.

If not, you will have to recheck the xdebug. Some web servers have a configuration option to prevent environment variables from being propagated to PHP and Xdebug. The directory where Xdebug will write tracing, profiling, and garbage collection statistics to.

This directory needs to be writable for the system user with which PHP is running. This setting can be changed in php. In some cases when profiling, or when xdebug. When this setting is set to 1, profiler files will not be overwritten when a new request would map to the same file depending on the xdebug.

Instead the file will be appended to with the new profile. This setting determines the name of the file that is used to dump traces into. The setting specifies the format with format specifiers, very similar to sprintf and strftime. There are several format specifiers that can be used to format the file name. See the xdebug.

If you are a QCacheGrind user, you should set xdebug. Returns the name of the file which is used to save profile information to, or false if the profiler is not active. This function presents APIs to retrieve information about Xdebug itself.

Which information gets returned, or displayed, depends on which arguments, or none at all, are given. Without arguments, this function returns an HTML page which shows diagnostic information. It is analogous to PHP's phpinfo function. The HTML output includes which mode is active, what the settings are, and diagnostic information in case there are problems with debugging connections, opening of files, etc.

Each warning and error in the diagnostics log also links through to the Description of errors documentation page. The function returns an array of all the enabled modes, whether through xdebug. The function returns an array of all the compile flags that were enabled when running.
