If you read the definitions carefully, I don't understand your confusion.

A phrasal verb is a two-word verb which consists of a verb followed by a preposition.
An idiom does not have a specific number of words. It can be a well-known saying, a proverb and there is no connection between all the different idioms.

Perhaps you could post the definitions you found which left you confused. I cannot imagine any similarity between the definitions. You might be being confused by the word "expression" - this can mean any utterance of words.

I'm sure bhaisahab will be grateful for your thanks but 1) he was not the only person to answer you and he didn't write the one you quoted and 2) if you are going to thank him by name, you should make sure you spell it correctly.

In my opinion, phrasal verbs are idioms; they have meanings different from the individual words. I know there are differences of opinion on that. And some phrasal verbs can be verb + adverb.
