Is it possible to debug PHP code running on a local Apache server while using PhpStorm?

Yes, it is possible to debug PHP code running on a local Apache server while using PhpStorm. To do this, you need to configure Xdebug in PhpStorm and set up the server configuration in PhpStorm to map the local server to the project directory. This will allow you to set breakpoints in your PHP code and debug it in real-time.
