PHPInfo | Get the output of phpinfo as an array | Runtime Evironment library

I have installed Xdebug on a Ubuntu 20.04 system. I followed this documentation , which I found to be quite well written, and got everything installed per the specs. (I used apt rather than yum, and placed the .so file into /usr/lib/php/20190902 folder rather than the document's example.)

In that document, there is a reference to adding to the php.ini file (I added to /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini files). Since the article doesn't specifically mention "sections" of the .ini file, I put them within the [PHP] section. (This is consistent with the remark about putting right before the Quick Reference bit.) I restarted Apache2 and the phpinfo() output now includes Xdebug, which it did not include before. All well and good.

The trouble I'm having is that although I set xdebug.mode = debug in the php.ini files, the phpinfo() output tells me that xdebug.mode is set to develop. Consequently, Step debugger shows as Disabled in my configuration. I cannot see why.

These are the lines I've added to each of those php.ini files:

So first of all since October for some reason my previously working Xdebug config for VSCode + Docker stopped working.

I switched over to an Xdebug 3 config to try it out, since 2.9 appears to have stopped working for me. Maybe because of a VSCode or PHP Debug plugin update?

But so far I have been unable to get it working or get it working only half?

VSCode launch.json:

Created .test.php file with one line of code:

My development environment is a VirtualBox Debian VM running on Windows with Apache and PHP. I currently access it in the browser using a specific local IP 192.168.33.10. I've created these two simple test scripts:

stest1.php:

I am running scripts that last longer than the limit allowed by the server and the server does not terminate them.

The phpinfo() showed me that the max_execution_time is set to 30. Using the ini_get('max_execution_time') feature the value 30 is displayed, but I put the code with sleep(45) and it runs until the end.

I also tried decreasing the time with ini_set('max_execution_time', 15), but still the code runs normally with sleep(45).

I've used sleep for testing purposes, but this is with functions that use cURL or even foreach and while that are used to create files for users.

What could be changing the server's maximum execution time?

After upgrading my php version from 5.6 to 7.4, and revising my .htaccess file to acknowledge the new version, my html page is not processing its php code. In other words, the php code itself is output instead of its intended calculations. All php code worked fine before the version upgrade.

In the revised .htaccess file, version 7 replaced version 5 in the AddHandlers. Using phpinfo I checked to see if the php version was in fact correct. It was correct.

I know the code on my page is correct because it runs as it should when that page uses a .php extension in place of the .html extension. It worked fine prior to the version upgrade. What is wrong with my revised .htaccess? First, here is my revised .htaccess file:

I have a strange problem in a symfony 5.3.10 app and i can't wrap my head around it.

If I trigger a 500 error, like so:

I have a problem with Xdebug on Mac OS using Big Sur. Below, I will explain what is happening.

1. When I run phpinfo() - I don't see a Xdebug section at all.
2. When I run commands such as xdebug_call_file() it throws a PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function error.

Here are all the configurations:

php -v:

PhpStorm shows that Debugger is active:

php.ini (/usr/local/etc/php/8.0/php.ini) has these configurations:

I need the Event library for my project in PHP. The main project is running on a raspberry pi but I'm writing and testing the code completely on my Windows PC. To run the PHP code, I use the XAMPP.

I tried to import the Event extension within my code but in the command window, I keep getting the same error:
