PHP Extensions & Debugging

Customize PHP by toggling extensions and setting up step-by-step debugging.

Managing Extensions

Burrow pre-packages popular Windows-compiled .dll extensions. Enable or disable them (such as pdo_mysql, curl, mbstring, fileinfo, openssl, and imagick) in the PHP manager extensions panel. Burrow handles editing php.ini dynamically and restarts the affected PHP-CGI process instantly.

Xdebug Integration

Xdebug is pre-bundled and pre-configured for all PHP versions:

• Toggle Xdebug on in the extensions panel.
• Burrow configures Xdebug to listen on port 9003 automatically.
• In your IDE (VS Code or PhpStorm), set the debugger to listen on port 9003, place a breakpoint, and refresh your page to start a debug session.

For a full IDE setup guide, see the Xdebug page.
