php offline?

Sup, Recoil here.

is there a way to run php scripts without uploading them to a server first? Perhaps some sort of clever program? Or do you have to completely re-write your hard drive? thanks for any comments,

Zend Studio lets you do that. PM me and I'll set you up with a link. It is the beta version, so it is completely legal.
 
just install apache (takes 5 mins if that) then install php from php.net (just extract and edit conf file.takes no time at all) and you have a server on your computer where you can copy files to and test them by going to localhost
 
Its perfectly safe, i use it for all my php testing, has mysql, php, perl, apache, and a lot of stuff.
 
you can do it with dreamweaver too. you set up a server with dreamweaver to test it on. i think apache is a good way to go though. or zend studio
 
just a quick note. it's not necessary to install apache to run php.
you can call it using php command line.
Code: 
Windows > Run > cmd
c:\>php -f path/to/myphpfile.php
manual for php command line
Code: 
c:\>php -h
check your php manual for more information about this extension.
