🐘 About This PHP Online Executor

The CodeUtility PHP Executor lets you write and run PHP code directly in your browser - no setup, server, or installation required. It runs real PHP environments in isolated sandboxes, supporting versions from 5.6 up to the latest 8.2.

Whether you're testing snippets, learning PHP basics, or exploring new syntax and library features, this tool provides a lightweight and interactive environment to execute your PHP code instantly.

You can quickly check logic, debug functions, or practice for interviews - all within your browser, with real-time output displayed in the built-in console.

It’s ideal for students, developers, and web engineers who need a quick way to experiment with PHP or validate snippets before deploying them to a real web server.

More than a code runner

Use a multi-file editor, an isolated execution terminal, runtime-specific libraries, persistent workspaces, sharing, and real-time collaboration from the same executor.

How to use this executor?

Choose a runtime, open or create a file, write your code, and select Run. Output appears in the terminal, while signed-in users can keep files in a workspace, install libraries, and collaborate through shares.

Select a version and edit the current file or open another workspace file.
Run the code, provide input in the terminal when requested, and review saved run history.
Use libraries, workspace tools, sharing, and chat when your task needs more than one snippet.

Start coding

VersionSelect a runtime before running. Installed libraries belong to the selected language version.
Open files lists unopened text files. Select one to open it in an available editor tab.
Run executes the active file with its workspace available to the program.
Stop ends the current execution before its time limit.
Advanced Mode opens the IDE layout with a file explorer and movable, resizable terminal.

Workspace and libraries

New file creates a file in the selected parent directory and opens it in the editor.
New folder creates a directory, up to the supported nesting depth.
Upload files adds one or more safe files to a directory.
Download saves a file or a zipped directory to your device.
Copy duplicates a workspace file or directory.
Rename changes a file name and updates its open tab and history.
Move relocates an item; files and directories can also be dragged.
Delete removes an item after confirmation and closes its open editor tab.
Pre-installed Libs shows packages already included in this runtime.
Add Lib installs a private package for your account and selected runtime.

Terminal and assistance

Run history opens previous and next saved outputs.
Run with switches PHP between the execution server and Browser PHP. Browser PHP synchronizes workspace files, while account-installed libraries and interactive terminal input require the execution server.
Copy output copies the current terminal text.
Clear output removes all saved run outputs after confirmation.
Explain summarizes the active code.
Recents opens recent explanations and results.
Settings changes fonts, themes, and visible toolbar buttons.

Sharing and collaboration

Share publishes the current file, a directory, or the whole workspace as a snapshot or live workspace. You control link access and who may save changes.
Logs records saved collaborator actions in a shared workspace.
Share chat lets signed-in participants message, mention people, share code blocks, and see online or typing members.
Live collaboration shows collaborator cursors and saved file updates. View-only users can load the latest version or keep temporary edits.

Quotas and limits

Execution time is limited to 20 seconds per server run. Use Stop when you want to end it sooner.
Workspace storage allows 100 files, 100 directories, and 10 MiB total for each signed-in user workspace and language.
Files and folders are limited to 1 MiB per file and 5 nested directory levels. Files generated by your code follow the same quota.
Private libraries are limited to 10 installed packages for each account and runtime.
Share snapshots can contain up to 100 files, 1 MiB per file, and 2 MiB total.
Share invitations support up to 25 people per share, with access and saving permissions managed separately.
Share chat allows 2,000 characters per message and 10,000 messages per share.
Quota enforcement also applies while code is running. A write that exceeds file count, size, storage, or nesting limits is rejected safely.

Good to know Only run code and install packages you trust. Execution is isolated and limited, but your program can still modify files inside a writable workspace up to its enforced quota.

💡 PHP Basics & Examples You Can Try Above

1. Declaring Variables and Constants

PHP variables start with $. Use define() or const for constants.

$x = 10;
$pi = 3.14;
$name = "Alice";
$isActive = true;

define("MAX_USERS", 100);
const APP_NAME = "CodeUtility";

2. Conditionals (if / switch)

Use if, elseif, and else for branching, or switch for multiple cases.

$x = 2;
if ($x == 1) {
    echo "One\n";
} elseif ($x == 2) {
    echo "Two\n";
} else {
    echo "Other\n";
}

switch ($x) {
    case 1:
        echo "One\n";
        break;
    case 2:
        echo "Two\n";
        break;
    default:
        echo "Other\n";
}

3. Loops

PHP supports for, while, and foreach loops.

for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
    echo $i . "\n";
}

$n = 3;
while ($n > 0) {
    echo $n . "\n";
    $n--;
}

4. Arrays

Arrays hold multiple values. PHP supports indexed and associative arrays.

$nums = array(10, 20, 30);
echo $nums[1];

5. Array Manipulation

Use functions like array_push(), array_pop(), count(), and slicing with array_slice().

$fruits = ["apple", "banana"];
array_push($fruits, "cherry");
array_pop($fruits);
print_r($fruits);

$sliced = array_slice($fruits, 0, 1);
print_r($sliced);

6. Console Input/Output

Use readline() for CLI input and echo/print for output.

$name = readline("Enter your name: ");
echo "Hello, $name\n";

7. Functions

Functions encapsulate reusable logic. Parameters can have default values.

function greet($name = "Guest") {
    return "Hello, $name";
}

echo greet("Alice");

8. Associative Arrays

PHP arrays can act like dictionaries with string keys.

$person = ["name" => "Bob", "age" => 25];
echo $person["name"];

9. Exception Handling

Use try, catch, and throw to handle errors.

try {
    throw new Exception("Something went wrong");
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

10. File I/O

Use functions like fopen(), fwrite(), and fread() for file operations.

$file = fopen("test.txt", "w");
fwrite($file, "Hello File");
fclose($file);

$file = fopen("test.txt", "r");
echo fread($file, filesize("test.txt"));
fclose($file);

11. String Manipulation

Use functions like strlen(), str_replace(), and explode().

$text = "Hello World";
echo strlen($text);
echo str_replace("Hello", "Hi", $text);
print_r(explode(" ", $text));

12. Classes & Objects

Use classes to model real-world objects and reuse logic.

class Person {
  public $name;
  function __construct($name) {
    $this->name = $name;
  }
  function greet() {
    return "Hi, I'm " . $this->name;
  }
}

$p = new Person("Alice");
echo $p->greet();

13. References

In PHP, you can pass variables by reference using &.

function addOne(&$num) {
    $num++;
}

$x = 5;
addOne($x);
echo $x; // 6
