[xdebug-general] Re: xdebug

I installed PhpStorm for comparison. PhpStorm opens the current script in
a web browser for user input. VSC doesn't do that. I'm still trying to
figure out why XDebug isn't engaging when the form is submitted in Listen
for XDebug config and XDebug Helper is engaged and in debug mode.
These are the settings I have

launch.json
"version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [

        {
            "name": "Listen for XDebug",
            "type": "php",
            "request": "launch",
            "port": 9000
        },
        {
            "name": "Launch currently open script",
            "type": "php",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "cwd": "${fileDirname}",
            "port": 9000
        }
    ]

settings.json user settings
"php.validate.executablePath": "C:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.1.9/php.exe",
    "php.executablePath": "C:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.1.9/php.exe",
    "workbench.startupEditor": "newUntitledFile",
    "files.autoSave": "onWindowChange",
    "workbench.editor.enablePreview": false,
    "git.ignoreMissingGitWarning": true

phpForApache.ini

[xdebug]
zend_extension =
"c:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.1.9\ext\php_xdebug-2.6.0-7.1-vc14-x86_64.dll"

xdebug.remote_enable = On
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_log = "c:/wamp64/php/php7.1.9/xdebug.log"
xdebug.profiler_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = Off
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
xdebug.profiler_output_dir ="c:/wamp64/tmp"
xdebug.show_local_vars=0

Is there anything missing?
