execute php file in browser not command line

[wacook]

Is there a way to run a *.php file from your browser on a local machine with no webserver running?

I can run a php file from my command line and it spits the result out to the command line.

Can you run a php file from your browser with out having a web server involved?

I think we need to address STDIN/STDOUT some how so that when a local php file is called it knows how to respond.

I am on a windows xp machine.

A web browser is looking to hold a conversation with an application that is listening and responding to requests on port 80. The command line by default does not listen to port 80, but listens to the keyboard. Make sense? Basically, you need a web server for this to work from the browser.
