Description AJDinmore 2017-02-16 12:24:17 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.2 (Build 201609300101)
Operating System = Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_101
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.101-b13

Reproducibility: Happens every time

Many popular frameworks have the two folders separately, as is best practice, yet the project settings require that the web root be located within the source folder. This should not be the case.

STEPS:
Set up a PHP project

ACTUAL:
Web root must be within sources folder

EXPECTED:
Web root can be any folder under the project root
