Can I run PHP locally?

Question

I want to know if it is possible to run php locally?

Answer 1

You need to use local servers like “open server, MAMP, WAMP, XAMPP” for this

Answer 2

Absolutely. Nearly all web developers run PHP locally while creating websites or developing updates to an existing one.

Install WAMP, MAMP, or XAMPP depending on what operating system your computer uses. I use WAMP since I use Windows. WAMP is available at: https://www.wampserver.com/en/

Answer 3

You can install php in Linux or termux:
sudo apt-get install php7
running the embedded server:
php -S localhost:4000 -t(name folder)

Answer 4

Really is this a question?

How will you run php then

Answer 5

Aditya(Less active) some people update files with FTP or directly through a web host's management application. They test trivially small changes that haven't been tested anywhere else. It is a really bad habit for a live website that gets a lot of traffic but a rare person will do it.

Developing and testing locally is far better and deploying all thoroughly tested changes quickly in a time of day with less traffic is what I generally do. Fewer customers will complain that way and I can push for more compensation by not interrupting visitors with bugs and stability issues while they use a website I'm updating.
