Is it possible to create and test web pages at local without apache? I'm interested of finding a simple program for that, is there? Can Quanta Plus do that in its preview mode? (i didn't get that to work...)

You can try pointing your browser to "file://path/to/your/php/file/here" and see if it will load the PHP file locally. Other than that you will need a web server for your php files, but you are free to create them as you wish.

I haven't used PHP for a couple years. I'm just starting the programming scene again. But it's a lot less of a pain in the a** just to pay a few dollars a month for your own webspace. Or you can probably find plenty of sites that will let you use PHP for free. I remember PhpBB used to let you request a decent amount of free webspace and bandwidth...but that involves you running a forum.

Some people like running their own servers, or like/need the experience from running their own. In cases like that using a hosting service is not an option.
