How can XDebug help in analyzing performance issues in PHP scripts?

XDebug can help in analyzing performance issues in PHP scripts by providing detailed information about the execution flow, memory usage, and time taken by each function. By enabling XDebug's profiling feature, developers can identify bottlenecks in their code and optimize it for better performance.

// Enable XDebug profiling
xdebug_start_profiling();

// Your PHP script code here

// Stop XDebug profiling
xdebug_stop_profiling();
