Hi Jeremy,
There are a few questions / items in your report:
- Xdebug thinks it needs to connect to an IDE, although I can not see which trigger was active for it to want to do that. You need to set log_level to 10 to figure that out.
- If Xdebug can not connect to the IDE, it will show an error in the log. This is considered an "error" and hence will show up if log_level is set to 1 (or higher).
- Xdebug wants to connect four times to the IDE. This could either be because there is perhaps a shutdown error handler? Or does any code perhaps call the xdebug_connect_to_client() function? There might be a hint in the log, if you set the log level to 10 for this one too.
cheers,
Derick |

here are the results after changing xdebug.log_level=10, restarting apache, and navigating to the login page of my application
this is ONE request, resulting in TWO log entries (because there's a redirect in the index page), both of which try to connect FOUR times each:

=====
This could either be because there is perhaps a shutdown error handler? Or does any code perhaps call the xdebug_connect_to_client() function?
yes, I have a shutdown error handler in my index.php script:
<code>
register_shutdown_function('check_for_fatal_errors');
....
function check_for_fatal_errors() {
$error = error_get_last();
if (null !== $error && isset($error['type']) && $error['type'] == 1) {
$message = "\n\n" . 'File: ' . $error["file"] . "\n". 'Line: ' . $error["line"] . "\n". 'Message: ' . $error["message"] ;
Yii::log($message, 'error', 'FATAL PHP ERROR');
}
}
</code>
no, I have no calls to any xdebug* functions in the PHP code |

p.s. there is an XDEBUG_SESSION cookie in my browser, which maybe the cause of xdebug trying to autoconnect. I guess it might have been placed there by previously starting my application in debug mode, from NetBeans?
if I delete the cookie then this is what I see in the log at level=10:

short version - it appears to be the cookie.
BUT - if I restart the debugger through NetBeans; then stop it through NB, the cookie gets recreated. Then if I navigate to the site otherwise, it tries to connect.
I'm running NetBeans 12.3 and the PHP Debugger requires a Session-ID, which is used to create a cookie. The debug-config is invalid without it.
So - what do you recommend given these facts? |

Yes, that most definitely will do it. It still shouldn't do that four times though.

Yes, I think NetBeans does that.
if I delete the cookie then this is what I see in the log at level=10:

But that doesn't explain that it checks four times...
BUT - if I restart the debugger through NetBeans; then stop it through NB, the cookie gets recreated. Then if I navigate to the site otherwise, it tries to connect.
Yes, that's how it supposed to work. I'm not sure if NetBeans supports putting the debugger in "listening mode" like PhpStorm and VS Code can, which would allow you to use a browser extension (https://xdebug.org/docs/step_debug#browser-extensions) to decided whether you want to debug a request (or not), and not rely on the Xdebug SESSION cookies at all. From a quick glance at the documentation (https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs/php/debugging.html#debuggingSession) it does not.
NetBeans makes assumptions about the required values of the session ID as well. In the documentation it says "Session ID Arbitrary name of the debugging session. By default it is netbeans-xdebug. This value is important to note in cases where you have to set the xdebug.idekey property in php.ini, such as some remote debugging scenarios." — which is nonsense, as Xdebug really doesn't care what it is. Although NetBeans rejects anything with a different value :-/
I'm running NetBeans 12.3 and the PHP Debugger requires a Session-ID, which is used to create a cookie. The debug-config is invalid without it.
So - what do you recommend given these facts?
I'd still like to figure out why it tries it four times. As to the issues with NetBeans, I would probably recommend you switch to VS Code (or PhpStorm), or convince the NetBeans folk to implement a "listen" mode for debugging. |

I don't think there is anything to do here on my side. Would you agree? |

thanks for following up Derick

on 24-Nov-2021 you wrote:

is that something you're still interested to do ?

I tried VS Code and have tried PhpStorm in the past...keep coming back to NetBeans. :-)
... or convince the NetBeans folk to implement a "listen" mode for debugging.
hmm....that's an interesting suggestion. If I knew the correct thing to ask, I'd be happy to create a NB ticket. No insight into how that request might get prioritized.
turns out NB 12.6 (the current version) has some "debugger Enhancements": https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb126/#_debugger_enhancements
I'm running 12.3. Maybe I should upgrade and see if any help with this situation.
I'm not sure I know the correct-thing-to-ask. Would you be able to supply language (here) from which I'd create such a request?
Or alternately you, as the Xdebug author/maintainer, could open a ticket here: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues |

@Derick - see https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3109
is this relevant to what we're discussing ? |

I am not sure if this is the same cause as this ticket, but a similar situation occurred with the following code.
<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
// "ERR: Time-out connecting to debugging client" is logged 11 times at finish of php.
$hoge[] = new class($i) {
public $id = 0;
public function __construct(int $i) {
$this->id = $i;
}
public function __destruct() {
echo __METHOD__ . ' : ' . $this->id . PHP_EOL;
unset($this->id);
}
};
}
// If uncommented out, "ERR: Time-out connecting to debugging client" is logged only once, as usual.
// $hoge = null;
</php>
