offline php previewer?

is there a program or a way I can view my php scripts offline?

Sure, just download apache and php to your home PC, and you can set up your very own testing envorironment.

When I was still using windows, I found a package called Foxtrot, I think that installed apache and mysql and php and phpmyadmin on my system. Very easy to use. One click install. There are several of these integrated installers available. You can probably find several of them at www.sourceforge.com .

here's a great tutorial at webmonkey on the installation process, though there really isn't much to say:

hope that helps.

download php(binary, 1mb>, not the 5mb+) from www.php.net the current version.
download a webserver... damn light from http://www.omnicron.ca/

install the webserver
then install the php (1mb> one)
