How to run php programs in desktop on any browser ?

Question

please mention needed software and tricks

Answer 1

"http://localhost/" is a special domain name that refer to your local computer (running the web server) wich is replaced with the IP url "http://127.0.0.1/" (not 127.0.1 -- two zero instead one... usually you can avoid prefix wich would be automatically addded by your browser) refering to the local machine itself ('localhost' special domain name is treated before any DNS query).

Answer 2

When I'm working on stuff and don't want to put it on the production server yet, I'll test run things from my localhost computer by using WebMatrix 3. Most of the time I operate directly from my web server, but this may serve to your purposes.

Answer 3
