It’s not mentioned directly, and may not be obvious, but you can also use this to create a virtual host. This, of course, requires the help of your hosts file.
Here are the steps:
1 /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 www.example.com
2 cd [root folder]
php -S www.example.com:8000
3 Browser:
http://www.example.com:8000/index.php
Combined with a simple SQLite database, you have a very handy testing environment.
