I'm looking for something like http://phpfiddle.org/, but completely local. I don't want to commit to installing something as complex as Apache, then PHP on top of that, just to try out code when I'm offline. Is there anything that can run PHP 5.5 on the local machine without installing an entire server underneath it?

You can make a PHP script to run it without any server or browser. You only need the PHP parser to use it this way. This type of usage is ideal for scripts regularly executed using cron (on *nix or Linux) or Task Scheduler (on Windows). These scripts can also be used for simple text processing tasks.
In first type you can install and configure apache php and mysql one by one manually Or in second type use easy to install local server sotwares like xampp, wamp, easyPHP ect. By using any one method your pc will run as a server and you can easily test your php codes without any internet connectivity.
There's no need for a server if using PHP 5.5+ - it has a built-in server (http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php)
Just use:
$ cd ~/public_html $ php -S localhost:8000 If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
