When i set a suspending breakpoint in PhpStorm, it stops the program, thus the connection to xdebug and apache seems to work fine.
Yet, when i make the breakpoint unsuspending and check the "log Breakpoint hit" box, i never get to see the log output, unless a suspending breakpoint is hit later on.
My idea is to print the value of an iteration variable through an unsuspending breakpoint on every iteration, so i can see the progress of a for-loop in my debugger. But since the debug windows doesn't pop up, i never get to see the debugger console unless a suspending breakpoint is hit.
Your suggestion totally makes sense, the reason why it doesn't work is this bug: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-6178
