Install PHP on Windows without webserver?

Post by allasso »

Hello,

I have a script that I have written in PHP which searches local files on a system, currently using it on a Mac. I would like to adapt this to use on Windows machines.

My question is, is it possible to install PHP on a windows machine WITHOUT having a webserver, in order to just use the CLI portion of PHP?

Thank you,

Allasso

Yes.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

thank you, I'll give it a try then.

I don't have a Windows machine easily at my disposal, so I wanted to get that clear before investing into it.

I am assuming then I'll just do the PHP install, and ignore the stuff about configuring for the web server.

Much appreciated,

I think there's an option for "Do not set up a webserver" if you're installing from binary.
