You can use the command line "php script.php" and it will execute it for 
you. You can also open a browser and point it at your local webserver, 
ie: "lynx localhost/dir/script.php"
Other than that, I do not believe there is a way to view the results of 
your script, and it has to be passed through the php engine.
