Profiling with Zend Debugger

Besides interactive debugging, IntelliJ IDEA integration with Xdebug also supports profiling. IntelliJ IDEA provides visual representation of profiling data generated by Zend Debugger.

Before profiling with Zend Debugger, download, install and configure the components of the PHP development environment. Normally, these are a PHP engine, a web server, and the Zend Debugger tool.
