PHPAndro

PHPAndro is an Android application that embeds a fully functional PHP server directly into your app, allowing you to run PHP scripts locally on your device. It uses NanoHTTPD as the lightweight HTTP server and supports both .php and static files (.html, .css, .js, images, etc.), enabling a seamless PHP development and testing environment on Android.

Key Features

• Run PHP scripts locally – full support for GET and POST requests.
