Creating a living PHP application that enables you to view results in a browser of your choice requires the following preconditions to be fulfilled:

You can install each component separately and then configure the environment. Alternatively, install an AMP package compatible with the operating system you use to have the components and the entire environment configured without any steps from your side.

To create and run your first php project
  1. Create a project. For that, choose File | Create New Project on the main menu.
  2. In the Create New Project dialog box that opens specify the name of the project in the Name text box, for example, type MyFirstPhpProject.
  3. Click the Browse button browseButton.png next to the Location text box.
  4. In the dialog that opens select the path to the .\htdocs folder and click OK. PhpStorm composes the path to the project folder as follows:
