IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.0 Web Help

Use this dialog box to configure running PHP applications on a local built-in Web server .

Click here for the description of the options that are common for all run/debug configurations.

The dialog box consists of the following areas:

Server Configuration

In this area, configure the access to the built-in Web server.

ItemDescription
Host In this text box, type localhost, because the built-in server is located on your machine.
Port In this text box, type the port number to use. The default value is 80.
Document root In this text box, type the full path to the folder that will be considered server document root. This can be either the project root or any other folder under it. All the folders under the document root will be recursively submitted to the PHP interpreter.

The server document root folder will be accessed through HTTP at the above specified host:port. URL addresses for other pages of your applications will be composed based on this mapping.

Type the path manually or click the Browse button browseButton.png and choose the relevant folder in the dialog box, that opens.

Use router script Select this check box to have a PHP router script executed at every HTTP request start-up. The script is run for each HTTP request. If this script returns FALSE, the requested resource is returned as-is. Otherwise the script output is returned to the browser.

In the text box, specify the location of the script to run. Type the path manually or click the Browse button browseButton.png and choose the file in the dialog box, that opens.

Command Line

In this area, customize the behavior of the current PHP interpreter by specifying the options and arguments to be passed to the PHP executable file.

ItemDescription
Interpreter options In this text box, specify the options to be passed to the PHP executable file. They override the default behavior of the PHP interpreter and/or ensure that additional activities are performed.

If necessary, click shift-enter-button and type the desired options in the Command Line Options dialog box. Type each option on a new line. When you close the dialog box, they are all displayed in the Command line options text box with spaces as separators.

Custom working directory In this text box, specify the location of the files that are outside the folder with your sources and are referenced through relative paths. Type the path manually or click the Browse button browseButton and select the desired folder in the dialog that opens.
Environment variables In this text box, specify the environment variables to run the PHP interpreter with, if applicable. Click the Browse button browseButton.png to the right of the field and configure a list of variables in the Environment Variables dialog box, that opens:
  • To define a new variable, click the Add toolbar button add.png and specify the variable name and value.
  • To discard a variable definition, select it in the list and click the Delete toolbar button delete.png.
  • Click OK, when ready

The definitions of variables are displayed in the Environment variables read-only field with semicolons as separators.
