What are the potential pitfalls when trying to debug PHP code that is processed through RewriteRules in the .htaccess file using PhpStorm?

When debugging PHP code processed through RewriteRules in the .htaccess file using PhpStorm, a potential pitfall is that the debugger may not be able to properly follow the rewritten URLs. To solve this issue, you can configure PhpStorm to use the original URL for debugging purposes by setting up a server configuration that maps the rewritten URLs to the original ones. 

// Example of setting up a server configuration in PhpStorm to map rewritten URLs to original ones
// Add this to your .htaccess file to rewrite URLs
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^original-url$ rewritten-url [L]

// Configure PhpStorm server to map rewritten URLs to original ones
// Go to Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> PHP -> Servers
// Add a new server with the original URL as the host and port
// Set the debugger to use this server configuration for debugging
