How can PHP scripts be executed locally without the need for a complete server installation?

To execute PHP scripts locally without a complete server installation, you can use a tool like PHP's built-in web server. This allows you to run PHP scripts without the need for a full server setup. Simply navigate to the directory containing your PHP files in the command line and run the command `php -S localhost:8000` to start the PHP web server. You can then access your PHP scripts in a web browser at `http://localhost:8000`.

// Navigate to the directory containing your PHP files in the command line
// Run the command php -S localhost:8000
// Access your PHP scripts in a web browser at http://localhost:8000
