# Bug Summary

Local bundles xdebug 3.3.0 for PHP 8.3.x, which sometimes crashes. [3.1.1 and 3.3.2 fixed those](https://xdebug.org/updates#x_3_3_2).

Updating the bundled version is likely to fix it.

# Steps to reproduce

1. Set a site to use PHP 8.3.23 and apply the change.

2. Use step debugging to go through some code until it crashes. I can’t tell exactly when it crashes and when it doesn’t, though. On Macs you can see the crash report by opening Console and then Crash Reports in the sidebar. The php-fpm entry will show something like:

3. Switch to PHP 8.2.29, debug again and it works. It’ll probably work with PHP 8.4.x too, but I can’t test that right now.

# Environment Info

- Mac 15.6.1
- PHP 8.3.23
- Local 9.2.8+6882

Thanks for the report, @iandunn!

I have logged this with our team but don’t have a timeline for the update yet.

Current Xdebug versions in Local are these in case it helps pick for now:

| PHP | Xdebug |
| --- | --- |
| 8.1 | 3.1.5 |
| 8.2 | 3.2.1 |
| 8.3 | 3.3.0 |
| 8.4 | 3.4.1 |
