How can XDebug be used for debugging PHP code in conjunction with VS Code?

To use XDebug for debugging PHP code in conjunction with VS Code, you need to install the XDebug extension in your PHP environment and configure it to work with VS Code. Then, set breakpoints in your PHP code where you want to pause execution and inspect variables. Finally, launch a debugging session in VS Code and interact with your PHP code step by step to identify and fix any issues.

// Sample PHP code with XDebug breakpoints
$number = 10;
$multiplier = 5;

$result = $number * $multiplier;

// Set a breakpoint here to inspect the $result variable
echo $result;
