Ubuntu php development environment

#Introduction If you're a php developer on ubuntu, there comes the time where you have to install/reinstall your system. I did it already a few times and i decided to write down the steps for a typical web developer stack with php. This is for a developer machine and not for a live environment!

I hope it helps you too!

fyi @mheiniger and me started with an installer here: https://github.com/mheiniger/webdev-setup

#Debugging with XDebug on Browser and Command line

The example is made for PHPStorm IDE with Apache2 webserver. But other IDE's or webservers should work in a similar way.

Ubuntu 12.04
- Edit /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini
Ubuntu 14.04
- with php-fpm -> sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/xdebug.ini /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
- with apache2 -> sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/xdebug.ini /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
- with cli -> sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/xdebug.ini /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
- Edit /etc/php5/mods-available/xdebug.ini

##Configuration

#Edit xdebug.ini
xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9002
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.profiler_append=Off
xdebug.profiler_enable=Off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger=Off
xdebug.profiler_output_dir="/tmp/kcachegrind"
xdebug.max_nesting_level = 1000

sudo service apache2 restart

#Add to /home/<your_username>/.bashrc
export XDEBUG_CONFIG="PHPSTORM";

#reload bash settings
source ~/.bashrc

Edit Settings in PHPStorm
- Go to File->Settings->PHP->Debug
- Change XDebug Debug Port to 9002
Install Easy XDebug Plugin for Firefox
- https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/easy-xdebug/

##Debugging via Firefox

Firefox: Click on ‘StartXDebug Session’ Symbol on bottom right
PHPStorm: Click on Run->Start Listen PHP Debug Connections
PHPStorm: Set a breakpoint and do call via firefox browser

##Debugging via Console

PHPStorm: Click on Run->Start Listen PHP Debug Connections
Set a breakpoint and run a console command

##PHPStorm Config

#for PHPUnit Code Completion add PHPUnit path under file->settings->directories
#Usually it’s stored in 
/usr/share/php/PHPUnit

#for PHPUnit Skeleton Generator add phpunit-skelgen under file->settings->ProjectSettings->PHP->PHPUnit->SkeletonGenerator
#Usually it's stored in
/usr/bin/phpunit-skelgen

/usr/bin/phpunit-skelgen
