I've be searching a days to a solution but not success. I installed Xdebug 2.5.5 in my Docker container and added it to my php.ini as follow

[xdebug]

zend_extension = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/xdebug.so"

When I run php -v I got

PHP 5.6.40 (cli) (built: Jan 23 2019 00:10:05) 

Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group

Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies

with Xdebug v2.5.5, Copyright (c) 2002-2017, by Derick Rethans

But the I try to add on PhpStorm the CLI interpreter I got "Debugger: Not Installed

PHP version: 5.6.40

PHP CLI: /usr/local/bin/php PHP CGI: Not Installed (php-cgi sapi is necessary to use built-in web server)

My Answer:
/path/to/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_host=host.docker.internal
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM

Make sure to replace /path/to/xdebug.so with the actual path to your xdebug.so file. Also, ensure that the xdebug.remote_host is set to host.docker.internal if you are using Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows. If you are using Linux, you may need to set this to the IP address of your host machine.

After making these changes, restart your PHP container and try debugging your PHP code in PhpStorm again. This should allow PhpStorm to connect to Xdebug running in your Docker container.
