I don't know which browser you are using, but, using Chrome, I use the Xdebug helper extension.

Once the extension is installed, right click on it > options and select PHPStorm as IDE.

Then, start listening for connection on PHPStorm using the button near the debug one.

EDIT:

Here is my configuration of XDebug:

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so
xdebug.max_nesting_level = 1000
xdebug.collect_params = 1
xdebug.collect_return = 1
xdebug.remote_enable = 1

Are you sure XDebug is properly installed on your machine ?

When in PHPStorm > Run > Edit Configurations..., add a PHP Web Application debugging profile and fill it this way:

• Name: Acme Project
• Server: apache2 (you might need to add yours - name, port, adresse, debugger)
• Start URL : /app_dev.php
• Browser: Default

Press OK and you're done !
