What are the recommended tools or software for running PHP scripts locally on a computer?
To run PHP scripts locally on a computer, you can use a local server environment like XAMPP, WAMP, or MAMP. These tools provide Apache server, MySQL database, and PHP interpreter to run PHP scripts on your computer. Once you have installed the local server environment, you can create a folder in the server's document root directory and place your PHP scripts in it to run them locally.
<?php
// Your PHP script code here
echo "Hello, World!";
?>
