I'm trying to learn PHP, and it's getting annoying having to upload a file to the server every 30 seconds. Is there a way to get a browser (I use Chrome on Mac 10.6.7) to interpret a PHP file (browser plugin or external app)? Or, is there some way to "convert" the PHP to HTML, with all the "hypertext preprocessing" done?

In short, is there a way I can practice PHP without using a server, or installing a server on my computer?

Not really no, "PHP is an open source server-side scripting language designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages". You could just set up a local server and test there, that is what I do.

Alternatively, on Linux at least, you can run PHP scripts from the command line:

$ php index.php > output.html

You can then open the resulting html in a web browser.
