Over on the circle.ch weblog today, there's a quick post pertaining to something I know I've thought about needing in the past - software to view/test PHP pages without the needed dedicated server.

The software is called ScriptViewer and describes itself as software that will help you develop and distribute web page scripts without a web server. The application is useful for CD-ROM distribution, Stand-Alone materials, kiosks, and web page development. The application is able to load and execute ISAPI DLLs, including the PHP ISAPI interpreter, showing the result in a HTML viewer. The installation includes PHP4 and an internal web server.

This is a great tool for all of those out there that either don't have access to a server running PHP, or just need a quick and easy way to check your work...
