Profiling with XDebug

Edit /etc/opt/remi/php73/php.d/xdebug.ini and add those lines:

; Enable xdebug extension module
zend_extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so

xdebug.max_nesting_level=200

xdebug.var_display_max_depth=3
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger=1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir="/tmp/workspace/cachegrind"
xdebug.profiler_output_name="cachegrind.out.%s.%r"

How to use it:

• When you add XDEBUG_PROFILE=1 as a request parameter (e.g. ``http://…./?stuff&XDEBUG_PROFILE=1``) it will generate a profile info into profiler_output_dir

• With kcachegrind (on your host) you can analyse the generated trace and find hotspots
