Symfony - Applications run without Apache server

Question

I used to think that the internal web server which SYMFONY uses is part of APACHE server, which runs with the following command:

$ php bin/console server:start

But as I turn off the Apache server on my PC (windows 10) the internal web server still producing without any problems, so is it that the internal web server has nothing to do with the Apache server or it's something unusual?

All commands that are part of the server:* namespace are related to the PHP built-in server .

For more informations, look at the command directly.

Answer 2

它在服务器中使用PHP构建
