post to PHP on local machine without a webserver?

Greetings,

I hope this is the right place for this question.

I have created an archive disk of a website to be used on users' machines as a local mirror. There is also a PHP search script that was used when the site was hosted on a server that I would like to implement if possible.

Most of the users of this disk are running Mac OSs which come with PHP installed. Is there a way to access PHP via the web browser WITHOUT having to turn on the webserver?

Thanks,

Allasso

Try xampp

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

It comes packed with php, apache as a webserver, and mysql.

Simple install. Php runs nicely.


Without a web server try:

thank you.

Your second option sounds like it might do what I want - only it's for Windows.
