How can path mappings misconfiguration affect PHPStorm debugging in PHP projects?

Path mappings misconfiguration in PHPStorm can affect debugging in PHP projects by causing breakpoints to not be hit correctly or variables to not be displayed accurately during debugging sessions. To solve this issue, ensure that the path mappings in PHPStorm match the actual file paths in your project.

// Example of correct path mappings configuration in PHPStorm
// Navigate to Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> PHP -> Servers
// Add or edit the server configuration with the correct path mappings
// Ensure that the local path points to the root directory of your project and the deployment path matches the server path
