This topic gives general guidelines in configuring environment for developing and testing PHP applications locally. These instructions by no means apply to configuring production environment, which is outside the scope of this Help.
PHP development requires the following software installed and configured:
A Web server and a PHP engine are mandatory. Starting with version 5.4, PHP interpreters contain a built-in Web server. The server is by no means intended for production but for development and testing purposes only.
A database server, if your application will use a database.
A debugging tool, if you are going to debug your application.
A command line tool, if you are going to run PHP commands from the command line.

Open source plugins for automatic time tracking. Open source plugins for automatic programming metrics. I have been trying to set up a new MySQL connection in PhpStorm (2016.1) for days now and cannot figure it out. I am on a Mac OS X 10.11.4 and I have a Home Server (Ubuntu 14.04) and MySQL (5.5). I have a Firewall setup on the Server and have allowed all local connections to pass through (verified by connecting to MySQL on another computer). Microsoft Azure supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and other Database Management Systems (DBMS). If you want to connect to these data sources, create data source connections that correspond to these DMBS. In PhpStorm, these connections already include necessary JDBC drivers. I am using an external MySQL server for my application. It is a basic Debian 7.5 installation with MySQL Server 5.5 - default configuration. IMPORTANT: Always backup the original of any configuration files you may modify. Always take care when elevated as super user. File /etc/mysql/my.cnf Line. Bind-address = 192.168.0.103 #127.0.0.1.
