Disable xDebug on phpMyAdmin

Question

I am using xDebug for a first time. Everything works well, but when I want to go on localhost/phpmyadmin it want to start debug (I don\'t have breakpoints here)

Answer 1

You can just turn off the debug connection listener by going to Run > Stop Listening for PHP Debug Connections.

PHPStorm will then ignore any connections from Xdebug. When you want to debug something again simply go to Run > Start Listening for PHP Debug Connections and it'll work again.

You could also permanently ignore those files by using Skipped Paths:

• Go to Preferences
• Go to Languages & Frameworks > PHP > Debug > Skipped Paths
• Click the '+' sign to open a browse dialog
• Browse to the web root where the phpmyadmin folder is located and select that folder
• Click OK and exit out of preferences

The debugger should now ignore scripts in that directory.
