What is the proper way to start a local PHP server, in PHP?

I want to make unit tests of a web crawling library with PHPUnit.

To do so, I need to set up a temporary web server in local to test properly.

I can do this:

exec('php -S 127.0.0.1:8888');

This looks ugly. And how can I even stop it?

So, is there a good way to start a temporary local web server (just for some tests) and then stop it? Knowing that, I want to do it in PHP, so I can just roll the tests out in every environment without worrying about launching a temporary server by hand every time.

Have a look at what Symfony does with its server:run command (source).
