This page appears in the Settings/Preferences dialog box, when the Command Line Tool Support plugin is downloaded, installed and enabled. The plugin is not bundled with IntelliJ IDEA, but it can be installed from the JetBrains plugin repository as described in Installing, Updating and Uninstalling Repository Plugins and Enabling and Disabling Plugins. The page shows a list of all PHP-specific and custom command line tools that are currently available at the IntelliJ IDEA level.

Use this page to enable integration with third-party PHP command line tools and define your own ones.
