To ignore a script when stepping through the program during a debugging session, configure a stepping filter. If a script is added to Skipped paths, it is only skipped when starting a debugging session for it. To have incoming connections to this script ignored, add the menu-ajax-script.php script to the skipped paths list. However, this script is still requested during the debugging session. This script works properly so you do not need to debug it. Suppose you have a menu-ajax-script.php that 'reloads' a part of your web page. In this case it is the index.php in the api directory.

Here we have to select the file in which the request starts. If you now reload the website you should get a new dialog in your PhpStorm window. This approach can be useful, when your application contains scripts that use AJAX. All IDEs that support PHP debugging, such as Eclipse, Netbeans, PHPStorm, etc., provide the functionality to put breakpoints in the code. Now open the local website you want to debug and enable the debugging mode in the right corner of the address bar by clicking on debug in the dropdown. No matter which method you choose, you can specify the scripts requests to which you want PhpStorm to ignore during debugging. Instead, you open the starting page of your PHP application in the browser manually and then activate the debugging engine from the browser, while PhpStorm listens to incoming debugger connections. Zero-configuration debugging, when no debug configuration is created at all. You create a PHP HTTP Request debug configuration or an HTTP request in the code editor, PhpStorm generates a request on its base, and then accesses a specific page through this request. You create a PHP Web Page debug configuration, and then PhpStorm uses its settings to launch the application, open the browser, and activate the debugging engine. PhpStorm supports three main ways to initiate a PHP debugging session: The latter approach is also called Zero-configuration debugging. With PhpStorm, a PHP debugging session can be initiated either through a run/debug configuration or without it. To avoid this problem, you need to update the corresponding sections in the php.ini file as described in Configure Xdebug and Configure Zend Debugger. These tools cannot be used simultaneously because they block each other.

PhpStorm supports debugging with two most popular tools: Xdebug and Zend Debugger. Before you start debugging, make sure that you have a debugging engine installed and configured properly.
