The page and all the pages under this node are available only when the PHP plugin is enabled. The plugin is not bundled with IntelliJ IDEA, but it can be installed from the JetBrains plugin repository as described in Installing, Updating and Uninstalling Repository Plugins and Enabling and Disabling Plugins.

On this page, specify the PHP methods and functions which you want the debugger to skip in addition to the common list of items to be skipped which is defined on the Stepping page.

Item	Description
Skip magic methods	Select this check box to suppress stepping into PHP magic methods and any other methods or functions with names starting with a double underscore __.
Skip constructors	Select this check box to suppress stepping into constructors.
Skipped Methods	In this area, create a list of specific methods that you do not want IntelliJ IDEA to step into. To add a method to the list, click the Add button and in the Add Method dialog box that opens type the name of the required function or the fully qualified name of the required method in the format \namespace\class->method. To remove a method from the list so IntelliJ IDEA steps into it during a debugging sessions, select the desired method in the list and click the Remove button.
