I am trying to open a browser locally to debug what I am writing in PhpStorm. However regardless of everything I have installed PhpStorm constantly complains with "php-cgi not found" issue.
I have installed homebrew with PHP 5.6
I have installed fastcgi and I've read up pretty much everything there is for this error. However I am still getting this "php-cgi not found" issue
I have installed Apache using this guide http://jason.pureconcepts.net/2015/10/install-apache-php-mysql-mac-os-x-el-capitan/
When I access http://localhost/phpinfo.php I can see the php info
Here's what just worked for me - as I was having the very same issue. Note that I was looking to install PHP 5.6.x here, so this answer conforms to that, and as of this writing, 5.6.36 was the most current version of 5.6 that brew had available. Obviously we're also dealing with MAC here.
Open Terminal
If you have brew installed, type brew install php56
Once completed, your terminal window will contain a plethora of information. One thing to look for is the path to PHP that was just installed. Look for If you need to have this software first in your PATH run:. Just below that, you'll see two paths listed. One ends in bin, the other in sbin. You want the one that ends in bin.
Open PHPStorm's PHP CLI Configuration (Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> PHP)
At the end of the CLI Interpreter box, click the ... to open up the options.
Click the + on the top-left to add a new interpreter.
I typed "PHP 5.6" in the "Name" field... type whatever you'd like to appear.
In the PHP executable field, enter the following /usr/local/Cellar/php#5.6/5.6.36_1/bin/php-cgi (again, this is based on the path you will find in your terminal window - described in the third step above)
Once you enter that and leave the field, PHP Storm should detect the build and where the php.ini file is located, automatically.
Click "Ok"
You're done. This worked for me on three different installations.
Hope this helps someone.

I have VSCode installed, but don't seem to have php - i.e. there is no "php.exe" anywhere on my computer. No guides that I can find on the web about setting VSCode up for PHP suggests that I need to download and install php itself seperately (only debuggers and linters)... my question is:
Do I need to install PHP seperately? Should I have had to do this, or is there a bug in my VSCode installation...
Yes you need to install PHP from the php website and then tell VSCode where PHP.exe is located.
VSCode is an editor not an interpreter.
I think if you install PHP at the default location VSCode will automaticly pick it up but if not you need to specify its path in options.
If you install XAMPP you will get apache,php and mySql in one installation.
EDIT: an interpreter is software that translated your code(in your case PHP) into code that the CPU can understand and then executes.
#kpollock it' not you. Yes, it should seem obvious that the language should be installed manually or separately, so you should have gotten that part, sorry. But no, there doesn't seem to be information anywhere about defining the underpinnings. This "understanding" seems to be left to the individual through research as you're doing.
After I installed PHP I manually set my environment PATH to include the PHP folder. OR in VS Code you can go to menu>File>Preferences>User Settings, the settings are maintained as a JSON object (unlike VS) and there is a PHP section for the .exe path.
Since you mentioned Node, you may not have installed Node.js manually. (I don't know if Node comes with VS Code either.) It might have come in with a VS2015 extension like Gulp or some other higher-level functionality, or maybe it was an installation option with VSC. If you can't use node or npm from a console, set your environment PATH to include it.
I have installed trial version of PhpStorm 7 on my Windows 7 64 bit.
Php Storm is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PhpStorm 7.0\bin\PhpStorm.exe" and my Xampp server in in E:\xampp.
I go to set php interpreter but PhpStorm don't find it.
I opened phpinterpreter windows and choose directory E:\xampp\php but I receive more error like this
Php Startup: Unable to load dynamic lybrary "\xampp\php\ext\php_xxxxxx.dll"......
It seems that PhpStorm 7 trunks the path excluding the disc and cannot find the installation of php over xampp directory.
I forced write correct value in C:\Users\currentuser\.WebIde70\config\options\php.xml , but I have same result
P
hp version: Not installed
Debugger: Not installed
but I have both installed and running.
What should I do to correct the problem?
Thanks very much
This worked for me, however I'm in PhpStorm 8 and the layout is entirely different. I'll still pop this here in case someone else needs these instructions.
Install your prefered PHP from here: http://windows.php.net/ (It doesn't need to be in your PATH, just pop it anywhere)
In PhpStorm, go to File -> Settings
In settings go to Languages & Frameworks -> PHP
Click the ellipsis next to Interpretter (this opens a new window)
Click the plus button in the top left and choose "Other Local"
Set the PHP exectuable to wherever you put your download above. It just needs to see php.exe
That's it. I've been using that to run Composer from PhpStorm... though I'm not convinced by the results.
As an alternative I would highly recommend using Vagrant for your PHP needs. You don't need PHP in Windows at all, and I've been developing this way for about 2 years. PhpStorm's remote support (including Vagrant, SSH and Remote Interpreter) is now excellent. I think the only thing I've been irritated by is PHPUnit Code Coverage is still broken.
I can not get the class graph to generate on Windows, and I am not sure where to look for an error. I installed Graphviz as an Administrator on Windows 7, and everything seems to be appear to be working.
I used the DocBlox.xml file that works on a Ubuntu computer and generates the graphics, but I do not get anything on Windows.
Any thoughts on what could be wrong, or where to look for errors?
Command Line in the main directory: docblox --force -v
docblox.xml -> DocBlox.xml
doxblox.log -> DocBlox.log
When I go to the project, the graphic is a simple graphical X in IE 8, for missing image.
Classes.svg is 2K.
Usually this happens because DocBlox is unable to find the dot executable that is installed with GraphViz. This is easily tested by going to an arbitrary directory in your Command Prompt and typing dot.
If this does not work then you need to add the GraphViz binary folder to your path.
Should this not be the solution; please paste your output when using the -v (verbose) option so that DocBlox will output additional information.
Update
It appears I either misread the opening post or the subsequent edits: there is nothing wrong with your DocBlox installation. IE8 and below do not natively support SVG; in order for this to work you would need to either upgrade your browser or install the (now discontinued) Adobe SVG Plugin.
My Xdebug works fine when I use eclipses' internal browser but when I use it in an external browser apache crashes.
I am using xampp and on windows 7 64 bit. If someone needs more information let me know.
For some reason if I have the variables tab open in the php debugger in eclipse it crashes apache. So to stop it I just can't have variables tab open while debugging. So this avoids the problem but doesn't fix it. I would like to be able to have this tab. Any suggestions?
It is possible that the XDebug build and type does not match your apache & php build and type...
Apache compiled with VS.NET 2008 (VC9) for 32bit and using PHP as a module would require XDebug: 32bit, VC9, Thread Safe.
http://xdebug.org/download.php
Also, you could test another WAMP package that comes with XDebug (for example WampDeveloper) and if it also does not work for you, it's probably not a build mismatch issue.
Hey I got this working
Eclipse 3.6.1 (because on later versions key shortcut for putting line comment don't work)
Xampp 1.7.4
Xdebug 2.1.2
The trick is to change php from VC6 to VC9 and then it just works correctly.
BTW. It's the variables panel that causes xdebug to crash apache on php VC6.
Remember to get VC9 version of xdebug for new php AND if you put your new php in directory other than
\xampp\php, then on phpinfo(); you'll see that there's no php.ini loaded so just rename old php (co you can swich them from one to other anytime) and put new php in the same directory in which original php was in "\xampp\php" and copy your php.ini (because paths doesn't change). Also remember to obtain any additional php extensions you've been using in VC9 version for new php and put them in "\xampp\php\ext"
I can confirm most of what t0meck said. Except I've moved up to xampp-win32-1.7.7-VC9 which has PHP 5.38. Taking the phpinfo() results from that to Xdebug's custom installation analyzer, it specifies the php_xdebug-2.1.2-5.3-vc9.dll, but the problem isn't entirely eliminated. As I've documented in my 'notes to self' page, the following is working for me.
After following the above procedure, the 'run as' should work on the first try, but the 'debug as' may crash Apache at every attempt. This is an issue that has driven many people to severe distraction. There is an apparent bug exposed using the debug perspective. At the top center of the perspective is a window with two tabs, the variable view and the breakpoint view. Usually, Apache crashes only when the variable view is highlighted, so highlight the breakpoint view instead. Then set a breakpoint on your project. Now, if you are one of the chosen, you will be able to step through the script using the debugger, but when you switch to the variable view it may still crash Apache. What a drag. Repeat the process and the next time you should actually see the variables and the problem will magically go away, until you restart the project. Just repeat the procedure and be satisfied with being one of the lucky ones.
Don't know if this help, I have same kind of issue, but it relate to array depth xdebug >handle in Variables view. And you can change it. Widnow > Preferences > PHP > Debug > >Installed Debug > Xdebug > Configure enlarge the "Max array depth" solved my issue.

Just set it to 10 or bigger and it should work
In the past, I used WAMPserver on windows to parse PHP for me. This is a pre-configured package, focussed on working with MySQL.
When I tried to run PostgreSQL, I got error messages that said that my version of PHP wasn't compiled to work with PostgreSQL.
So, I've recently uninstalled WAMP and every associated with it. I've downloaded Apache 2.2.11 with openSSL, installed as admin(you know, run the command prompt as administrator, cd to the directory where the download was done and have it executed, so the install was done as admin).
That's that. I now have Apache installed, "it works" shows up, so I'm that far.
Now I'm wondering, do I download the exe and install, or the zip, or something else.
What is the best thing to do to make sure that the PHP on my system can handle everything I can ever throw at it?
Also, PHP first, or MySQL/Postgre first.
And lastly, what about PEAR? I need PEAR installed, which isn't standard on Windows. I'm guessing the pear.bat file in the PHP downloads will do that for me?
EDIT: I see one close vote, yet no comment as to why. It makes me wonder how people who are so lazy and rude got to have somany points.
I would recommend downloading the zip package, as configuring php is not really that difficult, and it allows you to add features as needed.
As for whether first to install php or MySQL/PostgreSQL, - it does not really matter. You can install them in any order.
Your guess regarding PEAR is quite correct
i haven't used wamp before, so i can't comment on that
i do however use xampp which sounds very similar
in xampp if i want to enable postgres support i edit the php.ini file and uncomment the postgres section of the ini file, same with any of the extensions that i need
perhaps this might be an alternative you can try if you get stuck
There are many ways to setup a HTTP server/PHP/database machine. Sometimes the behaviour of your development setup will differ from the live server's.
I would recommend finding out the setup your web host is using, then getting a vmware appliance image that fits that as close as possible and get any additional software using it's package manager (which is easier that installing stuff on Windows).
Setup a file sharing link between the VM and the host, make sure you can view the VM's port 80 in a browser running in your host OS and you're set.
