Is there any way to test PHP locally without insta

问题:

I'm looking for something like http://phpfiddle.org/, but completely local. I don't want to commit to installing something as complex as Apache, then PHP on top of that, just to try out code when I'm offline. Is there anything that can run PHP 5.5 on the local machine without installing an entire server underneath it?

回答1:

There's no need for a server if using PHP 5.5+ - it has a built-in server (http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php)

Just use:

$ cd ~/public_html
$ php -S localhost:8000

As a minimalistic solution, on the command line you can also start php in interactive shell with php -a that will execute the commands you enter line by line. I often use it for testing small snippets of code.

You can download a portable webserver http://www.usbwebserver.net/en/ and use this script under it https://github.com/websiteduck/Run-PHP-Code

I really dont think so. but it isnt so complex as you think.

if you are on windows - just download: http://www.wampserver.com/ - it will install the whole server for you (mysql&phpmyadmin,php5).

on linux - got to google: install lamp to [your-linux] -- and follow the simple instructions

You can install either XAMPP or WAMP server locally if you find it complicated to configure PHP for Apache.

回答6:

You should try phpsh as well. It is a php interactive shell from the facebook developer folks with history, tab completion and quick access to documentation.

The project is maintained on github.

回答7:

Use psysh which is a wonderful tool for the purpose you described.

If your project is on Laravel, then it's "built in", as tinker, so you can invoke it as php artisan tinker.

For Windows Users:

Check out the ezPHP GitHub project. Per the project description...

EzPHP is an alternative to Xamp/Wamp. EzPHP is the easiest way to setup a PHP development environment for learning PHP programming on Windows.

The scope of this project is to provide a single .exe file that will get you a PHP developing server.

Link - https://github.com/marcomilon/ezphp

Setting it up was simple. Download the exphp.exe file and drop it in a folder. When you run the exe, it will launch the server and generate a public_html folder and index.php file. Follow the instructions in the command window and navigate to http://localhost:8080. Now you can start developing in the public_html folder and refresh your browser to see your changes.

If you use a development environment, like Aptana Studio, you might as well click on the Run As, and run it in your preferred browser. You need WAMP/XAMPP to be installed and running in order to do so.
