Edit: Per How to Turn On/Off Xdebug Profiling at Runtime? you can't actually enable/disable at runtime (for example per function call).

You can selectively enable profiler per request, which is generally better. To achieve this behaviour set those settings:

xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger=1
xdebug.profiler_enable=0

Note that we disable profiler and only enable the trigger. From your browser pass XDEBUG_PROFILE=1

You may also pass this parameter in POST or COOKIE. For more info check
