    That's not entirely true, there are applications that can run PHP on
    Android, I've used them in the past. However, it would be much more
    limited, and was only a CLI interface, without the capability to
    run the
    internal web server.

    Thanks,

Couple of things: please don't top-post, and please keep on list for everyone to benefit. Now on to a reply. The PHP interpreter isn't just for a server. PHP is a scripting language, and as such, also has a happy home on the command line. In-fact, to this end, PHP comes with its own internal testing server: https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php that allows you to test web-based code via a browser without needing something like Apache, Nginx, or IIS set up locally. In order to run code (either on a web server, or over the CLI) you need something that can parse and interpret that PHP code and then execute it. As I mentioned before, there were apps on Android that allowed you to execute PHP scripts on the phone via a command line interface. I've not used one for years now, so I can't recall any names of decent ones, however a Google search reveals many exist, and some that execute in a web-based context, so you can see the results in any browser installed on the phone. -- www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
