title: How can I run a php without a web server?
body: <p>I would like to ask if I can run a php without having installed a web server. Do I have to use the php like CGI and run my page via command line? And if so, what are the steps that I do I have to choose through the installation of php? I mean the preferences as CGI and the components after that step?</p>
  
  <p>I installed the php 5.3.3 but is seems not working, I get several message that the php5ts.dll is missing and when I put that file in my ext folder other error messages appear. Are there any configuration files or steps that I have to use?
  (is php 5.3.3 suitable for doing something like this?)</p>
  
  <p>If I have to have a web server installed how can I run my php code through the command line?</p>
