Problem
You want to quickly test your Laravel application.
But you don't want to set up a web server.
Solution
Use the php artisan serve command.
$ php artisan serve Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000
Now you can point your browser to http://localhost:8000 and see your application.
Press Ctrl-C to stop the server.
Discussion
Use the --port option to specify a different port.
If you want a port other than default, just specify it.
$ php artisan serve --port=8080 Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8080
