I am very new to using XAMPP. I have configured in my settings for XAMPP to start automatically during windows start up.
Normally in my shell in XAMPP, i do this command always
cd users/documents/myapp
users/documents/myapp: php artisan serve
Is there a way that i can make my XAMPP run this command anytime its auto starts on my computer?
PS: Apologies for my bad english and i am newbie to XAMPP and server side stuff

I would like to configure PHPStorm so that I can run Artisan commands directly from my IDE's terminal. For example php artisan key:generate. However, when I do, I receive the error 'php' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
Background:
running Windows 10 as host machine
using Docker to run my webserver (Nginx) and PHP interpreter (7.2-fpm).
I followed this tutorial.
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-laravel-nginx-and-mysql-with-docker-compose.
One thing the tutorial didn't cover was how to set up my remote PHP CLI interpreter. For that, I followed https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/configuring-remote-interpreters.html and can make a successful connection as it picks up the correct PHP version 7.2.21 as seen in the screenshot.
After this, I restarted my Windows 10 host machine, fired up the container, opened my IDE and tried to run php -v from the terminal but hit the error again.
I know it has something to do with my PATH environment variable being set incorrectly, or not at all but I am not sure how to point it to the container's PHP interpreter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
For what it is worth, I know that I can exec into the container and run PHP commands from there, but thought I might be able to do it directly from my host machine by pointing to the container's interpreter.
The terminal in PHPstorm is the same as any other terminal on your computer. It doesn't automatically connect to docker to run the php -v command. If you want to run php from PHPstorm in docker you can right click the file:
Choose run:
And select your created docker interpreter as your runtime:
If the fix button doesn't show it can be configured through:
settings > Languages & Frameworks > PHP
And then clicking on the 3 dots at the end of "CLI interpreter"
I face this error only when "php artisan serve" command is not running. If this command is running then there is no such a error, but as i closed command prompt this error occurs. i have also changed port but no vain.
Kindly help me.I would like to mention here that I'm using Window 10 OS.
Thanks in advance.
If you don't have a HTTP server (like WAMP or similar installed), you'll need to keep the Command Prompt / Terminal window running at all times. Closing the window or stopping the php artisan server command will terminate the server that's running the website.
If you want a persistent server, you should look into server software like WAMP or XAMPP.
Note that this is expected behavior for the php artisan serve command.
because with this kind of server (like: LARAGON), running 'php artisan serve' is necessary, so if you close the terminal, 'php artisan serve' will automaticaly stop running, then the server will stop too, then you can't reach anymore your localhost.
If you want a persistent server, you should look into server software like WAMP or XAMPP.

I know this might sound really silly, but I'm kinda stuck and need help. I'm trying to use Laravel 5.3 and use Homestead as my IDE. I have previously worked on PHP using NetBeans and XAMPP, but the installation has always been a pain. I have no formal training and have learnt and used basic PHP on my own for my webpages.
I'm running a Windows 8-32Bit OS & here's what I've done so far:
I have downloaded Laravel using Composer.
I have installed Virtual Box & Vagrant.
I have installed Git Bash and ran vagrant box add laravel/homestead (Homestead.yaml was not found in my Homestead folder after running bash init.sh command. I downloaded it from Github and added there).
Set SSH Key.
Ran vagrant up in Homestead folder (the installation was complete).
Issues:
If I just type http://localhost:8000 in my browser, nothing happens. I have to run php artisan serve in the command prompt inside laravel directory and keep the prompt window open for the default Laravel 5 page to open.
If I type http://127.0.0.1:8000 in my browser, nothing happens at all.
So how do I use Homestead then for my development everyday ?
you can try
localhost/project-name/public
if you dont want to run php artisan serve
I'm new to all this artisan stuff. When I start my php server with
$ php artisan serve
How do I get the mysql server to run?
The MySQL server is independent of Laravel. The artisan command is just an interface to Laravel which runs PHP scripts in the background.
To start your MySQL server on Linux, you will have to run something like
sudo service mysql start
For Windows, you will get access to the server via WAMP or from the installed services.
actually if you want to modify a little bit of laravel framework , you can do it like this:
open ServeCommand.php file on /vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/ServeCommand.php
then locate to serverCommand() function
add this command
echo shell_exec('sh your_terminal_command_to_start_mysql ');
everytime you run php artisan serve it will also execute your mysql service start command
For Windows or Mac, you will need XAMPP installed to initiate MySQL. https://www.apachefriends.org
I would like to ask if I can run a php without having installed a web server. Do I have to use the php like CGI and run my page via command line? And if so, what are the steps that I do I have to choose through the installation of php? I mean the preferences as CGI and the components after that step?
I installed the php 5.3.3 but is seems not working, I get several message that the php5ts.dll is missing and when I put that file in my ext folder other error messages appear. Are there any configuration files or steps that I have to use?
(is php 5.3.3 suitable for doing something like this?)
If I have to have a web server installed how can I run my php code through the command line?
You should normally be able to run a php file (after a successful installation) just by running this command:
$ /path/to/php myfile.php // unix way
C:\php\php.exe myfile.php // windows way
You can read more about running PHP in CLI mode here.
It's worth adding that PHP from version 5.4 onwards is able to run a web server on its own. You can do it by running this code in a folder which you want to serve the pages from:
$ php -S localhost:8000
You can read more about running a PHP in a Web Server mode here.
For windows system you should be able to run php by following below steps:
Download php version you want to use and put it in c:\php.
append ;c:\php to your system path using cmd or gui.
call $ php -S localhost:8000 command in a folder which you want to serve the pages from.
PHP is a normal sripting language similar to bash or python or perl. So a script with shebang works, at least on linux.
Example PHP file:
#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
echo("Hello World!\n")
?>
How to run it:
$ chmod 755 hello.php # do this only once
$ ./hello.php
You can use these kind of programs to emulate an apache web server and run PHP on your computer:
