I tried to find symbols, but I didn't succeed.

Solution

  • "step back"? As in, "move execution point back, to the previously executed line"? There is no such stuff in Xdebug.

    There was Dontbug Debugger project like 8 or so years ago, that could allow going backwards, but it was an experiment only.

    Your 2nd screenshots show what you need -- the Stack Trace (on the left side). By default, it has the current frame selected -- the line where it says AuthController.php:39.

    enter image description here

    You can click on previous stacks there (e.g. HttpKernel.php:181) and it will take you to the calling place in the editor as well as show the variables and their values for that place.
