How do you configure PHP in PhpStorm?

To configure PHPStorm to use PHP, you need to follow the steps below:

1. Download and install PHP: To begin with, you will need to install PHP on your computer. You can download the latest version of PHP from the official PHP website (http://php.net/downloads.php) and follow the official guide to install it.
2. Open PHPStorm: Open PHPStorm and either create a new project or open an existing one.
3. Set up the PHP path: In PHPStorm, click on the “File” menu -> “Settings”. In the window that opens, select “Languages & Frameworks” -> “PHP”. In the “Interpreter” tab on the right side, click on the “+” button in the top right corner to add a new PHP interpreter.
4. Set up the PHP interpreter path: In the pop-up window, choose the PHP path you previously installed and click the “OK” button. PHPStorm will automatically detect your PHP version and configure the interpreter path.
5. Set up the PHP project: Go back to the “Languages & Frameworks” tab and select “PHP”, make sure you have selected the correct PHP interpreter in the project settings.
6. Setting up the PHPStorm editor: Based on your preferences and project needs, you can configure PHPStorm in the “Editor” tab. For example, you can enable features like code auto-completion, syntax highlighting, and code formatting.

Once you have completed the above steps, your PHPStorm is now properly configured to use PHP. You can now start writing and running PHP code.
