Answer 3

As suggested in zend documentation here https://framework.zend.com/manual/2.4/en/user-guide/skeleton-application.html#using-the-built-in-php-cli-server, You can use the built-in CLI server using command

php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public/ public/index.php

to run this just open command prompt and type above command like this

php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t {path_of_project's_public_folder} {path_of_project's_public_folder_upto_idex.php_file}

then hit enter and now you can open to your project like this http://localhost:8080/. Your application is running on 8080 port you can change it to something else like 8000 or 5050.

I hope it will help someone.
