echo is the poor man's debugger. In many simple cases it's usually
enough (I do the same, for example I have a debugLog() function that
simply writes the passed info to a shell on my second screen), but a
real debugger has a lot more capabilities to follow the program flow.

Not sure I understood correctly. No language has a debugger built-in.
It's always an external tool or part of the IDE. For PHP there are at
least two real debuggers available, you just have to install and use
them.
