Desktop PHP Compiler

[Anonymous]

php has to be shown by a server and cannot be shown like html-files from your desktop.
You can install a webserver on your computer wich has php and use that to test your scripts.
You can also use a good editor wich knows php and can check your code for errors and (I believe some editors can) show the file itself.

I personnaly use a normal editor with only syntax highlighting (UltraEdit)
and test my scripts on my webserver.

Maybe someone else has some specific ready-to-use solutions.

You can install PWS on Windows 98, it's on the CD in the extras folder (something like that). Then install PHP and you'll have your own server.

You can also use Zend Studio to develop your scripts, it'll execute them and display the results for you!

I think the easiest thing to do is to use PhpTriad, its one package that will install Php, Apache (webserver) and MySQL so you'll have all the tools you need to get started with Php.
