Debug.
Submitted the form with the hope that XDebug would do its thing. The
code executed, but the debugger didn't do anything, such as create a log.

            This is new information.  I thought once the debugger was

                Did you get it working? What xdebug INI settings have
                you set? Make sure to at least enable
                xdebug.remote_enable. Is the web server running directly
                on the host machine? Or in a VM of some kind? If the
                latter is the case, then you'll want to make sure
                xdebug.remote_host is set appropriately, as
                xdebug.remote_connect_back might not get the appropriate
                hostname/IP automatically.

                Also, you can either set xdebug.remote_autostart or make
                sure you set a request variable or cookie of the
                expected name and value
                <https://xdebug.org/docs/remote#browser_session> when
                submitting the form. There are handful of nice browser
                plugins out there where you can enable the sending of
                the appropriate data to trigger the Xdebug session. And
                make sure your IDE is listening for Xdebug responses, of
                course. If anything, you can set xdebug.remote_log to
                try to get a better idea of what might be going on.

                Let us know how things progress...

    Yes, if you set xdebug.remote_autostart you won't have to send the
    request data. Try setting xdebug.remote_log to a path where it can
    create a log file. Let us know what it says when you make a request
    to the server. Also what IDE are you using?

Make sure to set xdebug.remote_log to a file path rather than to a 
directory. So try c:/wamp64/php/php7.1.9/xdebug.log. Sadly I haven't 
worked with Xdebug in Visual Studio Code yet. Hopefully there are some 
guides online that will help as well.
