Are there any alternative methods to display PHP files in a browser without a web server?

When trying to display PHP files in a browser without a web server, one alternative method is to use a tool like PHP's built-in web server. This allows you to run a local web server directly from the command line, enabling you to view PHP files in a browser without the need for a separate web server installation.

```php
php -S localhost:8000
```

This command will start a local web server on port 8000, allowing you to access PHP files in the current directory by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your browser.
