How to set up a PHP Console

Hello Dev's

In this blog, we will learn how to set up a PHP console.

Why we need this?

PHP is a server-side language (Backend) of web development.
In general, we don't require to take input from the console but sometimes for a small function or block of code, we require this because we don't want to disturb our whole code. It is also required to run some code that does not require a webpage (Interface) or sometimes we must require to take input from the console.

Requirements?

  1. Server: Xampp or WampServer

How to set up this?

First, we have to set up a path in our system environment variable.
Step 1: Goto C drive where your Xampp is installed

Step 2: Goto php folder in Xampp folder
