Dear Warriorforum Members!
Where can I test PHP code online. The one site I found gives error messages I can't understand.

Thanks!

    Just about ANY paid site allows you to do it. You can always ask them.

    If it is a free site they are stupid and probably won't last long. There IS a risk with running PHP, and people always try to exploit.

    BTW it could help a LOT if you say what the error messages are!

      Here you go...

      Test run php code online, right here - WriteCodeOnline.com/PHP

      @ Steve - I would imagine that most sites that let you test PHP, JS, etc. online sanitize the code as soon as it's submitted, in order to prevent XSS (at least if they're smart, they do)!

        Well, the one you linked to apparently doesn't allow you to do much anyway.

          Of course it's going to have some limitations compared to using your own server, but the OP asked for an online solution, for whatever reason (and the site I linked to is fine for testing basic stuff... I've used it several times for that). Normally though I prefer to test locally using XAMPP.

    Most low-cost shared hosting accounts allow you to run and therefore test PHP on their servers. If you are learning, this would allow you to test much more things than simpler services therefore you will be able to increase your knowledge much faster.

    BTW you CAN get a WAMP package, and run it on your OWN computer.

    I think you can also test the php code on w3schools.since it is just a preview,the error could be the same just to verify its validity

    You can get a low cost hosting account with HG and a cheap domain (like a .us) so like $4 up front and like $5 a month and boom you have your own server to test / play around on.
