How to run scratch file with local interpreter ?

> Is there any way to run scratch file via local interpreter?

You would need to setup (download & install PHP locally) a local interpreter (not bundled with installation).

I'm having (maybe) the same issue.

For me it is not about installing it, but about automatically recognizing / configuring PhpStorm to use the local interpreter for scratch files, as opposed to the remote interpreter for all other things.

I know that I can manually change it and run it but this is cumbersome.

So far I could not find anything in the run configuration or the php interpreter settings, so I am afraid this is not possible at the moment.

Can you confirm this?

Thanks.

Hey Dmitry, I already have the local interpreter. I can run my file in terminal. I'm looking for ability to run scratch with `Run` command of PhpStorm. I don't want to go to terminal and run it

This would require having two default interpreters - a local one and a remote one.
I really doubt we are going to implement this, but if you feel like it's crucial, please submit a feature request: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue?project=WI

Thanks for the clarification, Eugene.

@Mustafa: What I am doing when running scratch files, is quickly opening the settings via the shortcut, go to the PHP configurations, and switch from my remote interpreter to the local interpreter. When I am done, I do the same and switch back to the remote interpreter. Not nice, but maybe a little bit easier then using the terminal.

You may also create External Tools entry and assign any shortcut to it -- it's not the same as Run/Debug button for sure .. but might be enough/better that switching PHP Interpreters all the time.

whoever gets to this post now:
you can configure a local interpreter to your scratch files using the 'Run/Debug Configurations` menu.

this will let you run the scratch files with a specific interpreter while preserving the project default one.
