Using `var_dump()` to debug your app has its benefits, but there are more comprehensive and efficient ways to debug those particularly illusive bugs. Enter step debugging. We'll be using Xdebug & the PhpStorm IDE to step through our PHP apps line by line and see how much more power step debugging gives us over the conventional `var_dump()` technique. We'll also touch on debugging from the command line. Learn to dance in PHP with step debugging.
