HTTP servers with scripting support on Android

Question

I'm looking to host simple web apps on my smartphone in a group (like a LAN party, just not as hardcore).
Because of both lack of portability and lack of specific programming skills, I can't just develop a client app to play. Therefore, I need a server - preferably an HTTP one - which can serve dynamic content. I already found many servers to host static files, and I also found a few servers supporting PHP as a scripting language, but I couldn't find any app that did all these things at once:

• Be a server, i.e. support connections from the local network;
• Serve dynamic content, i.e. parse and execute scripts which I can edit;
• Is free for personal use.

Answer 1

AndroPHP looks like it'll fill your needs quite nicely.

You can...

• Deply dynamic PHP content
• Serve pages over LAN
• Use a MySQL Database

Heck, this'd be awesome for all sorts of events. Have people whip out their phones, navigate to your locally hosted signup form, etc, then export the mysql tables out later.

Answer 2

That unfortunately needs some 3^rd party app, as there's no "native" feature included with Android. Apps you might wish to check for this purpose include:

• AndroPHP (already described by dotVezz)
• Ulti Server: PHP, MySQL, PMA includes DyDNS, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SSH, PHP, MySQL (which also answers t0mm13b's comment)
• KSWEB: server + PHP + MySQL also includes FTP and some administrative tools and a function to update external IP in No-IP service (second answer to t0mm13b, even with his favorite "no-ip")
• NAMP nginx android web server with PHP, MySQL and FTP
