No need for an extension - the [PHP CLI][1] actually comes with a [built-in webserver][2]

Just run the following command:


```bash
php -S localhost:2222
```

If you really wanted to bake this into VSCode, you could add a [task][3] to execute it for you.

I am trying to develop web pages with `php` calls using `vscode` and `vscode live server`.  I have installed live server and it works fine with html/css/js.    However if the code I'm developing refers to a .php file, I just get the text of the php file, it is not executed by the server.  I did find `live-server-web-extensions` which installs into the chrome browser, presumably to do a reload when the php files are modified as well.

So what I need to know is: How do I configure the server to process php files?  I do have php.exe on my system, and if I used the php browser, things work fine.  But I'd like to use vscode and live server for development, and I'm missing the secret sauce.  I'm am using the Chrome browser and Windows 10.

How do I configure vscode live server to process php files properly (I'm using Win10 and Chrome)?

Looks like you're using the [**Error Lens**][1] Extension 

You can uninstall it completely, or disable messages in settings like this:

```js
"errorLens.messageEnabled": false
```

In VS Code, how can I hide the inline warning messages inside a file as highlighted below with white circles?
