running local PHP files in a browser without installing a web server
|

| Hello
I'm wondering if it's possible to simply run PHP pages and make SQL queries on my computer using local files and creating a local database without having to install and run a web server. Basically, I'd like to be able to create the PHP pages and test the
m locally in a browser window on my computer before I upload them to a server, and not have to install and run a web server. Right now, when I run the files locally, the PHP code is written to the browser page rather than executed. Is there a way to ins
tall a minimum of PHP software components for local file testing? Thanks.
Greg

| Hello Greg,
in order to get php-scripts executed on your computer, you will have to
install a local web-server.
Please provide details of your operating systems so that I can give you some
recommendations.
regards
Norbert
