like Scott said PHP is server side, so it's tough to get it to run in the challenges and almost impossible to make sure it's going to work all the time. I play around with http://writecodeonline.com/php/ sometimes if I want to see immediate results of my scripts, but it's not perfect either.

I wouldn't have though that any PHP code challenges would have a preview. Seeing as though it is a server side language, it would need to be executed by the server and then return to the client. This can have major security issues letting anyone execute PHP on your server.

I may be wrong though. They may allow it.
