How to debug variables in PHPStorm?

Question

phpstorm

For example, I want to put a breakpoint in any file ... Then reload the tab in the browser and debug it in the IDE, but I have OpenServer installed. I am writing a WordPress plugin.
How to do this right?
It turns out that only the folder with the plugin is open in the environment, when it changes, it is synchronized with the folder in WP and copied there. And the WP code itself is included as an external library.
In general, how do you debug such projects.

xdebug, phpdbg (the last one comes in php 5.6 out of the box).

Answer 2

Answer 3
