Vscode-php-debug: Variable gets truncated

[PipCodeBoy]

Why do variables get truncated and not show the full value? Is there any way to change this to show the full variable value?

Please refer to the XDebug documentation, the adapter doesn't truncate it, it's XDebug. You can customize XDebug settings through launch.json. They get truncated because else big variables can easily slow down the debugger.

And where do I find the parameter to add to launch.json that fixes that?? Thanks

@skippednote That worked but now VSCode is having a hard time displaying 132 attributes 😑

Same with strings, while I can now copy and paste the value in full with the new settings (thank you for that example by the way). I cannot actually see the data within vscode.
