Install PHP Xdebug on M1 Macbook Pro

Published by crossRT on June 27, 2021

Installing Xdebug on M1 MacBook Pro can be very tricky due to the CPU architecture changed.

This post will show how I install it on my machine:

  1. Make sure you install ur PHP through brew. For me, I have PHP v7.4.15 and perl v5.30.2 installed
  2. Install Xdebug with perl:
    arch -arm64 sudo pecl uninstall xdebug
  3. Locate the Xdebug path in your system. For me, it’s installed on /opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/7.4.15_1/pecl/20190902/xdebug.so
  4. Make sure xdebug.so is loaded correctly in php.ini. You can check the following block.
zend_extension="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/7.4.15_1/pecl/20190902/xdebug.so"
xdebug.mode=debug
xdebug.client_host=localhost
xdebug.client_port=9000

DONE~
You may start using Xdebug to debug ur PHP application. =)
