Hi,

configuration:
ubuntu 22.04
php 8.1
java 19
eclipse 2023.03

" Debug As PHP CLI" doesn't work. php-xdebug is installed. But the software Eclipse says the opposite.

I tried this solution: https://roelofjanelsinga.com/articles/how-to-enable-step-debugging-php-xdebug-phpstorm/

this is my file /etc/php/8.1/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini :

zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.start_with_request=yes
xdebug.client_port=9003
xdebug.client_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.mode=debug
xdebug.idekey=ECLIPSE

the configuration table of xdebug is strange ((setting renamed in Xdebug 3)

Hi,
Do you have found a solution ?

On my side, my configuration is :
- Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon
- Eclipse 2023-06
- PHP Development Tools (PDT) Zend and Xdebug Profiler Support 8.0.0.202306050832
- PHP 8.1 with Xdebug :

PHP 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.13 (cli) (built: Jun 28 2023 14:01:49) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.1.2, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.1.2-1ubuntu2.13, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
    with Xdebug v3.2.1, Copyright (c) 2002-2023, by Derick Rethans

For now, I only need to run PHP CLI only. So I configure my xdebug.ini with this content :

zend_extension=xdebug
xdebug.mode=debug
xdebug.start_with_request=yes

In the Eclipse's PHP executable configuration, I noticed that when I select the /usr/bin/php8.1 file, its path is replaced with "/run/user/1000/doc/3b978223/php8.1". For Xdebug, I use the 9003 port as it's the actual port for V3.x versions.

If I omit the last line (xdebug.start_with_request), Eclipse don't stop on the first line or any line with a breakpoint. If I active the xdebug logging, Xdebug says that it don't find the XDEBUG_SESSION environment variable definition, so it don't start. If I export this variable in the terminal and run my script in this terminal, the IDE connects and stop on the first line. I added this environment variable in the "Debug Configuration" of my script, but there's no effect. If I display the list of environment variables with

print_r(getenv(NULL));

XDEBUG_SESSION is not showed (Eclipse's bug ?).

With "xdebug.start_with_request" I can run the debugger in Eclipse, BUT the debugger starts also when I ask to run the program normally (without the debugger).

I have an older Linux Mint partition on my desktop (20.3) with Eclipse 2022-xx, PHP 7.4.x and the corresponding Xdebug version. No problem to debug and no need to configure "xdebug.start_with_request=yes" in the xdebug.ini file.
