A web console to try your PHP code into

Creating a test file or using php's interactive mode can be a bit cumbersome to try random php snippets. This allows you to run small bits of code easily right from your browser.

It is secure since accessible only from the local host, and very easy to setup and use.

Clone the git repo or download it as a zip/tarball, drop it somewhere in your local web document root and access it with http://localhost/path/to/php-console

You can also install it with Composer using this command:

composer create-project --stability=dev --keep-vcs seld/php-console

To update it just run git pull in the directory to pull the latest changes in.

You can use the internal PHP server too.
run php -S localhost:1337 in a terminal and go to http://localhost:1337/.

Default settings are available in config.php.dist, if you would like to modify them, you can copy the file to config.php and edit settings.

Code contributions or ideas are obviously much welcome. Send pull requests or issues on github.
