Help to the basic setup of PDT [message #1760714]

A year ago I started to learn PHP.
The result is a functioning website.
So far I have used Brackets with its debugger plug-in as development tool.
Along the way, I become aware of the existence of Eclipse, which offers many more options than the tools I use today.
I develop on a virtual machine with Ubuntu 16.04 LAMP and I have come so far that I have installed Eclipse and created a project with a small PHP test page.
Here I am stuck.
I have repeatedly tried to follow the proposals for setup, I've been able to find in this forum and elsewhere.
However, I have not yet managed to get the page shown via Eclipse or get the debugger to work.
I have no trouble debugging in Brackets.
Are there a soul with the Heart on the right place that can help me with the first steps into Eclipse's adventurous world?
Apparently there is something basic in my setup that is not correct.

Thanks in advance!
Ebbe

I found that I haven't specified anything under [Window] / [Preferences]

Under [PHP Executables] I added:
exe.path: /usr/bin/php
PHP ini: /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
Next: Debugger: XDebug

Under [Servers] I added:
Name: localhost
URL: http://localhost
Workspace: /home/xxx/workspace
Next: Debugger: XDebug

AND NOW I COULD CONFIGUR AND START THE DEBUGGER Very Happy

I added the following lines to the end of my php.ini

--
XDebug
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"

;DO NOT FORGET TO COPY THIS FILE OVER!!!
zend_extension = C:\utils\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.5.0-7.1-vc14.dll
--

As I say in the comment, you will need a copy of php_xdebug available here
https://xdebug.org/download.php
