I updated Xdebug because I updated PHP and now the content of DateTime objects is no longer shown in the debugger. I know there once was a fix for this problem but although I searched the internet up and down I can't find it anymore.

I'm using Xdebug 2.8.1, VSCode Xdebug extension v1.27.0 and PHP Intelephense v1.8.2

My Answer:
One possible solution to this issue is to update your Xdebug configuration to include the following line:


xdebug.var_display_max_data = -1


This setting allows Xdebug to display the full content of variables, including DateTime objects, in the debugger. Make sure to restart your PHP server after making this change to see if it resolves the issue.

If this solution does not work, you may also want to check for any updates to the VSCode Xdebug extension or PHP Intelephense extension that could potentially fix the problem. Additionally, you can try reaching out to the developers of these extensions for further assistance or look for any known issues or bug reports related to DateTime objects not displaying correctly in the debugger.
