PhpStorm runs only JavaScript instead of PHP?

Question

I have just installed fresh PhpStorm on Mac. I set my interpreter and so on. I can create .php files. But when I run it runs only JavaScript and there is no option to run php? How can I fix this?

Run 'filename.php (JavaScript...)'

Same with debug. How this can be fixed?

Go to Run->Edit Configurations... and add a configuration for PHP. There are some templates there you can work from. — Don't Panic

It seems you've configured PhpStorm to handle files with .php extension as JavaScript code rather than PHP.

Open the settings dialog (File/ Settings), head to Editor/ File Types and review the Recognized File Types section:

Remove *.php from JavaScript.
Make sure that PHP contains *.php.
Remove any other unwanted registered pattern, such as filename.php.

I had a similar issue on PhpStorm 2023.3.8

Turned out that I've marked the directory as excluded. When I removed the exclusion the option to run the file as PHP was visible again.
