Run current file as PHP script

Question

Is there a way to run current *.php file as PHP script from within Visual Studio Code? Information I've found suggests you can debug code if you install Xdebug but it feels weird you can't just run code.

_{(This was a standard feature in all editors around year 2000 but it's becoming harder to find nowadays...)}

I'd say the editor doesn't have such feature because there's a third-party extension that implements it...You need to install Runner. Then, Ctrl+Shift+R launches the script in the Output pane:

PHP is configured out of the box:

const defaultLanguageMap = {
  bat: '',
  clojure: 'clj',
  go: 'go run',
  javascript: 'node',
  lua: 'lua',
  perl6: 'perl6',
  perl: 'perl',
  php: 'php',
  powershell: 'powershell -noninteractive -noprofile -c -',
  python: 'python',
  r: 'Rscript',
  ruby: 'ruby',
  shell: 'bash',
  typescript: 'tsc'
};
