How to make Laravel built in web server accessible from network

Laravel does have a built in web server for quick and easy development, but this web server have some limitation, one of them is that it cannot be access from the network.

If you try to open laravel built in web server using other computer on the same network, it won't work, don't worry there is a solution to this problem.

All you need to do to make the built in web server accessible through network is running special command along with php artisan serve.

php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0

php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port=9999

Now the built in web server should be accessible on the network, go ahead try it, remember to use real ip address of the computer instead of localhost or 127.0.0.1.

For example my computer have ip address 192.168.43.236, so i open http://192.168.43.236:8000 to open laravel built in web server, it should works.
