Have you considered setting up Apache, PHP and MySQL on your local system?

It would be slow though wouldn't it?
No, it'd be very fast actually :) I've run it on my PC before, and it was very cool.
Fast? Didn't think that :)
Do you run it off your ISP account?
I actually dont want to set up my own server
Its all local so typically once Apache is configured and up and running you just type in http://localhost/ in your browser - which relates to DocumentRoot "D:/Some-Folder" or whatever drive / folder you specify in Windows :cool:Quote:

thebillionaire, try webhostingtalk, you should find something there...
Na, its only for testing / learning Mike :)
thebillionaire, there seems to be a good list here that offer what your asking for:

Mike, if you give people your IP (and your firewall is open, or non-existant:p), then yes people can browse your 'web server'.
If you have a static IP, even better. But most ISPs don't allow their users to run a server through their accounts, anyway...
What sort of ISP account would you need for that? One of those T1's?
Any web hosting account would work. I've done it with both cable and DSL, and dial-up is possible if you don't mind the insanely-slow speeds :) Something at least as fast as a T1 is preferrable if you have more than a few people visiting your site simultaneously.
Some ISPs will block port 80. You can still have your site publically accessible by using a different port, such as 8080 or 8000. If you have a firewall, it also needs to be configured to forward those ports to your PC (or use DMZ).
