Here is how to configure PhpStorm to use XAMPP as the web-server and how to install the debugger.

The first thing you need to do is to configure a debugger in your php.ini. Am currently using Xdebugger, if you use this one then just follow these easy instruction click here. Copy the info form php_info() and paste it into that white box. Then download the *.dll file they give you (for windows) and paste to the folder they ask you to.
The second thing you need to do is to configure the PHP interpreter. Follow the images.

Click on PHP and then the browse button in the interpreter section. enter image description here

Click on the plus sign and then other local enter image description here

Get the PHP home path e.g /xampp/php/ enter image description here

Then test it, you should be able to use with the browser and in the console (if your only doing stuff with PHP) enter image description here
