Open terminal, run htop. Press / to search and type in php -S or localhost or whatever command you've entered, F3 to search for next references if needed. Press F9 to kill the process.

starting:

nohup php -S localhost:8000 &
pid=$!
echo $pid >/var/run/php.pid

stopping

pid=$(cat /var/run/php.pid)
kill $pid

That's only an example without proper error handling

Find the process ID, and issue a kill command. On Ubuntu linux, you can use "top" command line utility to see and stop running processes.

Once you start top, use "L" to search for "php", and you'll se it's process id
