Geographic underground map and PHP

You don’t need a compiler—PHP is an interpreted language, rather than a compiled one… that is, it’s munged on-the-fly.

What you’ll need is a webserver with PHP installed—if you have free webspace with your internet connection, you may be able to use that. Upload the .php file to the webspace and view it in your browser. If you can just see code, then the server doesn’t have PHP installed.

Of course, if you have a Mac, you already have PHP installed… drop the file in the ‘Sites’ folder in your home directory, make sure you have “web sharing” switched on in the “sharing” section system preferences, and go to

If that all seems rather technical, you could always send me the file and I’ll run it and post the results back—I do PHP stuff for a living
