PHP executable: In this field, specify the path to the PHP engine. Type the path manually or click  and choose the executable file in the dialog that opens. IntelliJ IDEA detects the version of PHP and displays it in the PHP version read-only field. IntelliJ IDEA also detects the debugging engine and the php.ini configuration file. The type of the debugging engine associated with the PHP interpreter and its version are displayed in the Debugger read-only field. If no debugger is detected or you have disabled it in php.ini file (see Configuring Xdebug for Using in the On-Demand Mode), the field shows Debugger: Not installed. The location of php.ini is displayed in the Configuration file read-only field. To edit the php.ini in IntelliJ IDEA, click Open in Editor.  (Reload ): Click this button to check that the specified PHP home directory actually contains a PHP executable file. If no PHP executable is detected at the specified location, IntelliJ IDEA displays the corresponding error message. -
 (Show phpinfo): Click this button to have IntelliJ IDEA display a separate information window with the installation details and the list of loaded extensions and configured options. Note that the additional options specified in the Configuration Options field of the CLI Interpreters dialog are not listed. -
Debugger extension: in this field, specify the location of the Xdebug extension to enable IntelliJ IDEA to activate it when necessary. IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2 and later supports the On-Demand mode, where you can disable debugger for your global PHP installation and have it enabled automatically on demand only when you are debugging your command-line scripts or when you need code coverage reports. This lets your command line scripts (including Composer and unit tests) run much faster. Configuration Options: Use this field to customize the configuration settings of the installation by composing a string of configuration directives to be passed through the -d command line option and thus add new entries to the php.ini file. Click to open the Configuration Options dialog and create a list of new php.ini entries there.
