title: Can PHP be installed on a local machine?
body: <p>For Web-dev, can the PHP Processor be installed on a regular Windows XP machine, such that viewing PHP files through a browser executes the PHP script? <em>(NOT Windows Server 2003)</em></p>
  
  <p>I even <a href="http://www.php.net/downloads.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">downloaded PHP</a> but it appears they want it installed on a server.</p>
  
  <p>Any other ways to <strong>quickly preview and run PHP on a local machine</strong> WITHOUT uploading the file to server? <em>(<a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Dreamweaver</a> can process the static HTML within PHP files..)</em></p>
