XDebug Toggle
=============

[](#xdebug-toggle)

Toggles PHP XDebug extensions.

How it works?
=============

[](#how-it-works)

This package detects where your `php.ini` file is located and creates two copies on the same folder with `-xdebug-enabled`and `-xdebug-disabled` suffix to them.

Any changes made to those files will reset because it keeps those files in sync whenever you run the commands.

In order to enable/disable XDebug, the package tries to identify the library name and location, like `xdebug.so` and `xdebug-2.9.4-7.4-vc15-nts-x86_64`) on the original `php.ini` file. You MUST have at least a line containing `zend_extension=...xdebug` on your original `php.ini` file in order for it to work, even if it's commented out with a `;`.

The `xdebug` command is just a wrapper over `php` executable that disables the original `php.ini` loading and loads one of the copies instead.

By running `xdebug [...php args]` you're running a PHP instance with XDebug `enabled`. The `xdebug` accepts a `--disable` flag immediately after the `xdebug` command if you want to run with it disabled. There's also two additional commands `xdebug-enabled` and `xdebug-disabled` that does the exact same thing but without the flags.
