By
The Xdebug extension encourages you to troubleshoot your content by giving a great deal of profitable investigate data.

Installing Xdebug for XAMPP with PHP 7.x

Basic Requirements


  1. XAMPP for Windows: https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
  2. The VC14 builds require to have the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 x86 or x64 installed
  3. The VC15 builds require to have the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 x64 or x86 installed

Setup

Download Xdebug for:

  1. PHP 7.0.x: https://xdebug.org/files/php_xdebug-2.5.5-7.0-vc14.dll
  2. PHP 7.1.x: https://xdebug.org/files/php_xdebug-2.5.5-7.1-vc14.dll
  3. PHP 7.2.x: https://xdebug.org/files/php_xdebug-2.6.0-7.2-vc15.dll
  4. Copy the file php_xdebug-2.6.0-7.2-vc15.dll to C:\xampp\php\ext
  5. Open the file C:\xampp\php\php.ini with Notepad++
  6. Disable output buffering: output_buffering = Off
  7. Scroll down to the [XDebug] section (or create it) and copy this lines

 
[XDebug]
zend_extension = "c:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.6.0-7.2-vc15.dll"
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "c:\xampp\tmp"
;xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "127.0.0.1"
xdebug.remote_log = "c:\xampp\tmp\xdebug.txt"
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.trace_output_dir = "c:\xampp\tmp"
;36000 = 10h
xdebug.remote_cookie_expire_time = 36000

     9. Restart the Apache (Stop/Start)

Now, if you run the phpinfo(); you can see the xdebug extension is enabled

phpinfo

By default Xdebug profile log name as cachegrind.out  You can add extra parameters to make dynamic. For myself, I added %t-%s which formats are

SpecifierMeaningExample FormatExample Filename
%ccrc32 of the current working directorycachegrind.out.%ccachegrind.out.1258863198.xt
%ppidcachegrind.out.%pcachegrind.out.5174.xt
%rrandom numbercachegrind.out.%rcachegrind.out.072db0.xt
%sscript name 2cachegrind.out.%scachegrind.out._home_httpd_html_test_xdebug_test_php
%ttimestamp (seconds)cachegrind.out.%tcachegrind.out.1179434742.xt
%utimestamp (microseconds)cachegrind.out.%ucachegrind.out.1179434749_642382.xt
%H$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']cachegrind.out.%Hcachegrind.out.kossu.xt
%R$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']cachegrind.out.%Rcachegrind.out._test_xdebug_test_php_var=1_var2=2.xt
%U$_SERVER['UNIQUE_ID'] 3cachegrind.out.%Ucachegrind.out.TRX4n38AAAEAAB9gBFkAAAAB.xt
%Ssession_id (from $_COOKIE if set)cachegrind.out.%Scachegrind.out.c70c1ec2375af58f74b390bbdd2a679d.xt
%%literal %cachegrind.out.%%cachegrind.out.%%.xt

Here %s is used for modifying only xdebug.profiler_output_name and not for xdebug.trace_output_name. 

And If you want to get the current profiling log file. you can call the function
xdebug_get_profiler_filename(), which returns the file name as a string


if you enable the xdebug.profiler_enable. it will run every single script. It will run all the time. So instead of that enable the xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger, the benefit of using profiler_enable_trigger you can enable and disable profiling by just pass the special GET or POST parameter XDEBUG_PROFILE to a PHP script. It will turn on profiling just for the one PHP script that receives the parameter. You need not set a value for XDEBUG_PROFILE, it is sufficient to append the parameter to the URL: yourUrl.php?XDEBUG_PROFILE.

React Advanced JSX

By
 class vs className This lesson will cover more advanced JSX. You’ll learn some powerful tricks and some common errors to avoid. Grammar in JSX is mostly the same as in HTML, but there are subtle differences to watch out for. The most frequent of these involves the word class. In HTML, it’s common to use class as an attribute name: <h1 class = "big" > Title </h1> In JSX, you can’t use the word  class ! You have to use  className  instead: <h1 className = "big" > Title </h1> This is because JSX gets translated into JavaScript, and  class  is a reserved word in JavaScript. When JSX is  rendered , JSX  className  attributes are automatically rendered as  class  attributes. Self-Closing Tags Another common JSX error involves  self-closing tags . What’s a self-closing tag? Most HTML elements use two tags: an  opening tag  ( <div> ), and a  closing tag  ( </div> ). However, some HTML elements such as  <img>  and  <input>  u
