    and visit this link

    there you need to past your php info

    this will provide you steps how to make xdebug work depending on your local setup

    In our case we are using xampp so we had to update php.ini file

    sudo nano /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/php.ini

    and we added

    zend_extension = /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20210902/xdebug.so

xdebug.start_with_request=yes

xdebug.mode=debug

xdebug.client_port=9005

    These settings might be different in your case. try different port number if 9005 does not work for you at last you can check xdebug configuration using

    <?php 
xdebug_info();


    and in vscode
