PHP Studio
What it is
PHP Studio is a simple online PHP editor that runs on a self-hosted web setup. Its maker describes installing it on one system as a server, then allowing PHP to run from 50 systems in a lab without installing PHP on each computer. Users open the editor in a browser after configuring a web server, cloning the project into its web directory, importing phpstudio.sql into a database, and editing connection.php. The repository includes login, logout, and registration files, along with adminview.php and an Admin View screenshot section. The README lists version 1.1.1 and credits S. Vijay as developer. The project is written in PHP and jQuery, with jQuery, CodeMirror, and jQuery contextMenu listed as dependencies. PHP Studio is free, uses the MIT License, and invites contributions. The license provides the software without warranty, and no security or compliance certifications are listed.
