How to debug PHP in Visual Studio Code (Simple steps)

I set up my debugger today and created this quick video to help you in case you want to debug PHP in Visual Studio Code.
Settings to enter in PHP.ini (from the video)
zend_extension = xdebug
[XDebug]
xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.start_with_request = yes

There are many "how to" xdebug setup videos for PHP in VS Code. None of them explained this at all. This is the only video that actually worked. Who knew the settings.json line items had to be manually inserted? Nobody has explained this before. Now I can accelerate my work to a much greater degree. I am very grateful my friend.

Thanks, Jeet. You seem to have made light of the reality that many cannot do the "step through" the code! You focused on set-up which is very helpful. But what use is set-up when I can't use it!

When you have the php file open you can click off just to the left of a line number to set a breakpoint ... the breakpoints checkboxes in the run debug should be checked for the php file and then when you run it should stop at the point you set.. you should then be able to use f10 to step over f11 to step in f5 to continue etc..

Thank you for the concise and easy to follow video. Teaching me more than my course!

On a new VSCode install the debug options for running in browser are not there - it seems some step was missed - you must have some other extension installed or configuration you did not go over. Also telling people to use search for the settings.json only works if you've ever opened it before settings.json is stored in c:\users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\settings.json but would be easier to find if you told folks to go to the PHP Debug addon then click on the settings icon then select extension settings then click the "edit in settings.json" to find it The video was fairly helpful but it's assuming a lot - probably because you already have things installed and configured that you take for granted.

OK so missing critical info - I was just testing by making a random php file with some code in it - in that case the run just runs /debugs to console however, I tried pointing vscode to open a directory where apache was serving from c:\xampp\htdocs and then had debug and run create a launch.json for it - THEN I was able to get the run options mentioned. Over all the video was helpful, and saved me a lot of steps but there are quite a few assumptions
