Is it possible to enter PHP code on an Android smartphone?

Question

Android

Basically 2 parts of the question:

1. Is it possible to install (build) pure php (from php.net)? Better still and apache / nginx :) And for this you probably need Android >= 2.0?
2. How convenient is it to enter a lot of text from a capacitive / resistive screen, or is a qwerty slider indispensable?

Thanks for answers.

Answer 1

PHP, and even more so Apache, will not work on an Android smartphone with factory firmware. However, you can run Ubuntu
on an Android smartphone , and everything you need from under it is already there. But typing the code from the screen in any way is inconvenient. Although I would also like a mobile keyboard for programmers :)

Answer 2

why don't you consider devices on maemo? There the Apache with php are put quite regular means. Plus, you can connect a full-fledged keyboard via usb / bluetooth.
Or have you already bought an Android device?

Answer 3

There is PHP on android, moreover, there is an API for writing applications for android on PHP
with a screen is another question - everyone has different fingers, select by typing (in the literal sense)
