n the examples shown, replace "X.Y" with your app's PHP version (for example, "5.4" or "7.0"). To install a PECL extension for multiple PHP versions, repeat the PECL extension installation for each PHP version.

The Xdebug extension provides debugging and profiling capabilities for PHP scripts.

Xdebug supports PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, and 7.0. Xdebug does not yet support PHP 7.1.

Installing

To install this extension, run the following command as your server's root user:

sudo apt-get install gcc make autoconf libc-dev pkg-config
sudo peclX.Y-sp install xdebug

Once installed, create a configuration file using one of the following commands run as root.

For PHP 5.5, 5.6, and 7.0:

sudo bash -c "echo zend_extension=xdebug.so > /etc/phpX.Y-sp/conf.d/xdebug.ini"

For PHP 5.4:

sudo bash -c "echo zend_extension=/opt/sp/php5.4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/xdebug.so > /etc/php5.4-sp/conf.d/xdebug.ini"

Finally, restart PHP by running this command as root:

sudo service phpX.Y-fpm-sp restart

Verifying the Installation

You can verify Xdebug is installed correctly by running the command

phpX.Y-sp -i | grep xdebug

If you installed Xdebug correctly, you will see the following:
