Running Applications
PhpStorm enables running entire applications as well as particular scripts.
PhpStorm uses settings that are defined in a Run/Debug Configuration. All the run configurations that exist in a project, are available in the Select Run/Debug Configuration list.
If you want to see the list of all currently running applications, select from the main menu. Refer to the Viewing Running Processes section for details.
Note that after you've started a run session, the 
icon that marks the Run tool window and in the Run/Debug Configuration Selector toggles to 
to indicate that the run process is active.
