A Symfony bundle providing console commands to run applications with PHP's built-in web server, simplifying local development without Apache or Nginx. It has been deprecated since Symfony 4.4 in favor of the Symfony Local Web Server (Symfony CLI).
Use cases
- run a symfony app locally without configuring apache or nginx
- start a php development server from the console
- serve a symfony application during local development
- quickly preview a symfony project on localhost
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy Symfony 3.x/4.x project that still depends on this bundle
- you need a zero-configuration dev server on old Symfony versions
When to avoid
- starting a new Symfony project - use the Symfony CLI local web server instead
- you need HTTPS, multiple PHP versions, or production-grade serving
- you are on Symfony 4.4 or later where the bundle is deprecated
