PHP's built-in server

=20

Description

PHP, in 5.4 and later, comes with a built-in webserver for development purposes. This is very handy, as i= t allows you to kickstart development quickly, avoidi= ng having to install and configure Apache / Nginx. All = you need here is PHP 5.4+ with command line binary.

Usage

Symfony comes with a wrapper script for booting the built-in webserver:&= nbsp;server:run. It's a nice shortcut as it will correctly set = the web root depending on your configuration, and with eZ Platform it can b= e used as is.

Use this command for local development purpose only! DO NOT use this on production servers, the use of --env=3Dprod below is just showcasing that you can use the command both with Symfony'= s dev and prod environment depending on if you are debugging or just testin= g out your application locally.


Examples
The following example will start the webserver on http://127.0.0.1:=
8000 on your machine, in Symfony dev environment for debug use:
