hey,

just letting people know that about this free and opensource software called Viewer for PHP. Its like WAMP or XAMPP but easier to use and makes it possible to distribute your PHP files with ease. Its basically a web server, mysql server, PHP processor and browser combined into a nice little application.

Simple put your files in the php_files folder and run the viewer_for_php.exe file.

Check it out: http://viewerforphp.sourceforge.net/

I've voted no.

I don't find that sort of thing useful simply because it doesn't mirror the environment in which my code will run when I deploy it. I need my development server, staging (test) server, and production server all to be the same so that I know when I deploy a script I won't have any unforeseen problems that arise from version differences. Consequently an app like this has no value to me. I'd never use it for a live script so I can't really use it for development or testing.

Could be neat for demoing an application to a client off a CD or similar media :)
