About this app

Write PHP, run it on your device, and use the result to shape your next edit. PHP Editor combines a PHP 8.4 coding workspace with bite-sized examples and quizzes, giving students, self-directed learners and developers a practical place to explore small programs.

WRITE AND RUN IN ONE WORKSPACE
Start from New PHP File, enter your code and tap Run to open PHP Output. Return with Edit code to revise the program and try another approach. The built-in runtime executes PHP locally, so a separate remote execution server is not needed for this workflow. Output and reported errors appear in the app to help you see what your program actually does.

EDIT WITH USEFUL CODE TOOLS
PHP syntax highlighting and line numbers make source easier to follow. Word wrapping helps keep long lines readable, while bracket matching and automatic bracket closing support everyday typing. Use the quick Undo and Redo buttons when experimenting, Find to locate text, and Go to line to move to a specific part of a file. These tools help with both short exercises and returning to a script you have already started.

KEEP YOUR WORK MOVING
Create a fresh file, open an existing PHP file, or save your work with a chosen filename. Save updates the current saved file, while Save As gives you a separate copy to develop another version. Continue coding on Home reopens your locally stored draft when one is available. File access follows the platform's available storage workflow; keep a saved file when you want a named copy of your work.

TRY A SMALL IDEA EACH DAY
PHP Bite of the Day pairs a short tip with an editable example. Explore strict comparisons, null coalescing, match expressions, array transformations, typed functions, escaping text and simple reusable functions. Change a value, predict the outcome, then run the example to compare your expectation with the result. The Home screen also displays a daily visit streak as a reminder of your practice habit.

CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING
Open Practice PHP for multiple-choice quizzes arranged into levels. Timed questions give you a focused way to review the language away from the editor. See your results after an attempt, then use Quiz history to return to recorded attempts and results. Combine a quiz session with an editor experiment when you want to put a concept into practice rather than only read about it.

CHOOSE A COMFORTABLE VIEW
Switch the app theme and use the language selector for available interface translations. The editor follows the active light or dark appearance, helping you keep the coding workspace consistent with your chosen view.

PHP Editor is suited to testing a function, checking a small expression, reviewing a saved script or practising between longer study sessions. Local execution has time and output limits, so keep experiments focused. Network-dependent services, including advertising and purchases where available, remain separate from running your code locally.

Start with a daily example or your own snippet, inspect its output and build understanding one edit at a time.

Ratings and reviews

Just started using it a day ago. I wish there was more items added to the keyboard though instead of using the normal keyboard like having a tab, <, ! etc on top of the keys on the keyboard for quick access. Also, on the keyboard, it would've been better if it would by default not capitalize the first letter regardless of the phone settings. Otherwise I'm in love with it and I hope to explore it more♥️

Tons of ads, doesn't even recognize "random_int" 🤣 Ok sure, what PHP version do you even use? Tried "phpinfo", nope. This was added in version 4. Is it blacklisted? Anyway, not to be mean, but if it's so limited, it's useless even from simple scripts. What a time for my PC to break...

This is not good enough. As your code grows, it begins to disorganise your output, your output becomes unresponsive to css rules. This makes the whole design very tough and tasking. The sub-menu "open" to open saved file is not working again. The developer needs to go extra mile to make the app compete with known good apps of its kind in the play store. It is complete waste of time, energy, and data.
