php(1) Scripting Language php(1)NAME php - PHP Command Line Interface 'CLI' php-cgi - PHP Common Gateway Interface 'CGI' commandSYNOPSIS [-- snip --] php [options] -S addr:port [-t docroot]DESCRIPTION [-- snip --] PHP also contains an built-in web server for application development purpose. By using the -S option where addr:port point to a local address and port PHP will listen to HTTP requests on that address and port and serve files from the current working directory or the docroot passed by the -t option. [-- snip --]OPTIONS [-- snip --] --server addr:port -S addr:port Start built-in web server on the given local address and port --docroot docroot -t docroot Specify the document root to be used by the built-in web serverThe documentation says:
If a PHP file is given on the command line when the web server is started it is treated as a "router" script. The script is run at the start of each HTTP request. If this script returns
false, then the requested resource is returned as-is. Otherwise the script's output is returned to the browser.
There is no mention of therouter script in theman, nor does this really specify how it interacts with-t.
