We've been working on a really interesting online PHP editor, that lets your run your PHP code in real time as well. I need some people to test it out and try it though, eventually this will be part of a web site that aims to teach people PHP through an easy to use online interface for free. More people learning PHP = More popularity for PHP = More support for PHP = better PHP products.... .....

Please PM me if you have any interest and I'll get you the info you need.

It sounds like a great idea and I'd love to beta test it and would be willing to write some tutorials but, I sure hope you have spent a huge amount of time on security.

Being able to parse code on another server is a huge security hole.

I'm interested. But as others have stated, very dangerous.

As for the security side - yes, it is very dangerous. Not quite like giving out free shell accounts (which I has been done...) but still, could be just as bad.

From a security point a lot of effort and time has gone into this. I can't really give all the details, and no we aren't relying on obscurity :)

All the basics are covered, safe mode PHP, servers dedicated to the project with no other content, any dangerous functions disabled, etc...
