    PHP without a server...

    Ok, so I'm runnting ot run some Wiki software on my machine for
    personal organizational use. It requires PHP but things look ugly if I
    try to run it right off the desktop. Is there a way to get this to
    work without a web server?

      When you say "web server", do you mean "web host"?

      You can run a web server on your own machine - e.g. Apache
      (http://apache.org).

          You can run php without a web sever (cli scripts) but it's not going
          to be displaying any Web Pages. It's sort of implied in the name; web
          servers serve up web pages.

              Take a look at my humble project: http://wapache.sourceforge.net/

                  Yeah, I guess I mean host.

                  Anyway, if I download Apache, I should be able to serve the php to
                  myself? i actually considered something like this using my old web
                  server since it allready runs Apache but I don't like the idea of havin
                  to bother with a second box sitting around.

                  I'll be honest, I don't really know much about all this.

                      I'll give that a try, though I prefer Firefox to IE, I can be flexible,
                      I don't have any real problems with IE.

                          Yes, if you install Apache, you can serve your own PHP.
                          Just follow the PHP installation instructions for apache.

                              But if you want no Server, you can try Instiki.
                              But you'll have to install Ruby though.
