xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = on
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "c:/wamp/tmp"
xdebug.show_local_vars=0

Then go to Run menu in top navbar. Then select edit configurations and add new configuration ( do not change your default settings for another project )

Click add new item button.

After adding new php web application

Then click ok and check your configuration

Finally, you will see the configuration at the right side of ide.

Click RUN or DEBUG button.
