IntelliJ IDEA displays the version of the PHP engine detected in the specified folder and the debugger associated with this PHP engine in the php.ini file. Type the path manually or click and select the relevant folder in the dialog that opens.

Specify the PHP engine installation directory in the PHP executable field. In the Name field, type the identifier to distinguish the interpreter from others, for example, php_installation_. In the right-hand pane of the dialog, specify the PHP interpreter's settings. If you already have a local interpreter configured in IntelliJ IDEA, it is also shown from the menu and the menu item changes to Other Local. In the CLI Interpreters dialog that opens, click in the left-hand pane, then choose Local from the popup menu.

On the PHP page that opens, click next to the CLI Interpreter list. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Languages & Frameworks | PHP. Open the Marketplace tab, find the PHP plugin, and click Install (restart the IDE if prompted). Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Plugins. The PHP plugin is available only in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. This functionality relies on the PHP plugin, which you need to install and enable. īefore you begin, install a PHP engine either as part of an AMP package or separately. A local PHP interpreter is a PHP engine installed on your computer opposite to a remote PHP interpreter that can be installed on a remote host or in a virtual environment set up in a Vagrant instance.
