Debug PHP and JavaScript Together in VS Code Using Docker without Browser Debugging

In this video, we’ll set up a complete, professional development environment to debug both PHP and JavaScript inside Visual Studio Code, all running within Docker — without relying on the browser debugger.

You’ll learn how to build a clean, maintainable workflow that integrates PHP with Xdebug, Apache, and JavaScript debugging, so you can seamlessly switch between frontend and backend debugging within VS Code.

We’ll cover everything from scratch, including:
a. Setting up Docker with PHP 8.3, Apache, and Xdebug
b. Configuring Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml for live code synchronization
c. Setting up custom Apache and Xdebug configurations
d. Writing and debugging PHP and JavaScript directly inside VS Code
e. Creating a professional launch.json for combined PHP and JS debugging
f. Running and testing the entire setup end-to-end
