I have began to study "Laravel". I have already learned ruby on rails framework. Rails have console where you can create models and run all the commands your script runs. It is very useful and i am really used to this. I am interested if "Laravel" has anything like this, to create my objects and check if validations work correctly or run commands like
"Post.all" where post is my object to retrieve all data from database.
The Rails console is based on Interactive Ruby Shell (IRB) which is a read–eval–print loop (REPL) environment. There is an equivalent in Laravel (based off of psysh):
php artisan tinker
Note that 'Tinker' appears to be included in Laravel 5.7 (current at time of writing), but was removed in some previous versions. It can be installed with these instructions:

I dont seem to understand why we need to run a Laravel app with php artisan serve vs just running it with Apache or nginx. I know that under development, we use artisan to fire up the site and after deployment to a server, you use the webserver to load up the site.
Whats the use of running the app in artisan in the first place?
The serve command is just a shortcut for the PHP Built-in Webserver, something PHP has out of the box, so the point of using it is to start testing your application as fast as you could, you just need to install PHP, Composer and your application is up (if you don't need anything else, of course). But if you already have Nginx installed, there is no point at all, just use it.
It's not wise to use the Builtin Webserver in production.
One advantage of using php artisan serve over a typical webserver during development is you can use Psysh as a debugger (Laravel Tinker) to set a breakpoint.
For example, at the line of code I want to break at I type:
eval(\Psy\sh());
Then I hit the page that will run that section of code and when it gets to that line it will break into a Psy Shell repl (in the commandline window where I started php artisan serve). Then I can inspect variables, etc. at that point of execution. It's very useful for debugging. As far as I know, you can't do this running Apache/Nginx. It has to be with artisan serve (or running automated tests).

Purpose: The purpose of using Php artisan serve (PHP builtin server) is just for testing and easy starting your project it should not be used in real website deployment.
Asset Not working: Always put your index file in public it's the beauty and security of Laravel framework and your assets will always working. if you are bore to use your custom URL like C:/wamp/www/pym/server.php then use Virtual host locally but don't but don't put your index outside the Public folder.
if you really want to use index at your Root directory then you should customize your all asset() and url() helper functions and should put your exact url Example asset('/login') should be changed to asset('localhost/yourprojectroot/login').
php artisan serve --host your_server_ip --port 8000
copy that http://your_server_ip:8000 and run it into the browser
Aside from the best answer here.
You can see the logs directly where you execute the php artisan serve, so useful in debugging.
Well, was looking for the same answer but couldn't find any that is satisfying so , if your also unsatisfied just like me try running the link returned when you run
php artisan serve
it returns
Laravel development server started: <http://127.0.0.1:8000>
copy that /http://127.0.0.1:8000 and run it into the browser , guess what it returns );the page that u first got when you installed laravel for the first time or i guess it will return the page in the routes folder which was set as /home directory or file(default home page).
In brief:
php artisan serve
starts the serve,forexample its like when your going to drive a car and you start the engine before driving whereby you can start the engine and drive at the same time ,its not neccessary to do so but depends.So to me that's php artisan serve CLI.
I want create an installation controller for my web app and for config db need run migration commands from controller.
For example when user visit
localhost/backend/webapp/index.php?install/step1
by action step1 run migrate up and down command and do installation.
Thanks from #soju and #meysam you can use both solutions.
Use exec:
Perhaps combining stackoverflow.com/a/35864018/1592247 and exec
function of php could helps (#meysam)
Use extensions:
How can I call a console command in web application in Yii 2.0 (#soju)
Both way may help you.
be aware using exec may cause some security issues and disable in some servers.
We have a company doing several websites for us using the YII framework. The developers tell us that in order to run protected/yiic.php migrate that they must have SSH access to our server.
We are reluctant to provide SSH as there are many clients on our server. Is SSH really required as they say or can this migration script run via other means via the web browser?
You can write php-script, that will execute migrates, use CConsoleCommand for base, but it is not simple issue.
The fastest way run the migration only SSH, but approach proposed by Alex also nice.
