The homebrew/php tap was recently deprecated. This deprecation included versioned formulae for php installations (e.g., php56) as well as installation of individual extensions (e.g., php56-xdebug).
Installing PHP 5.6 with Homebrew now requires the command: brew install [email protected].
Installing PHP 5.6 and then running phpinfo() indicates that Xdebug is not loaded in the list of extensions, and a debugger extension is not found. A selective copy of the output is as follows:
$ /usr/local/Cellar/php\@5.6/5.6.35/bin/php -r "phpinfo();"

Running brew options php and brew options [email protected] yield no information on options to install additional extensions in the homebrew installation process. brew search xdebug yields no packages of interest.
As far as I can tell, Xdebug is not installed by default, and there is currently no mechanism to install Xdebug using homebrew with this new generic php formula.
Does anybody know how to go about installing Xdebug in a sensible way now that the original homebrew/php tap has been deprecated?

If you use pecl .. then you can use pecl install xdebug-2.9. 3 . For your apt-get you may try sudo apt-get install <package name>=<version> syntax, for example: sudo apt-get install xdebug=2.9.
On Windows, you should place the php_xdebug.dll in the ext/ directory, which is a child directory in your PHP installation tree.
Verify that Xdebug is properly running by checking again with phpinfo() or php -v as explained above. Note that 9003 is the default port. If this port is used by another service on your system, change it to an unused port. After adding these settings, restart your webserver again.
According to this answer, you can install it with pecl install xdebug. However, newer versions of xdebug have dropped support for PHP 5.6. To install an older version of xdebug with support for php 5.6, use pecl install xdebug-2.5.5
