Is it possible to set up a Windows development server to run PHP?

97 64KB
Here's my problem;

I started working for a company thinking it wouldn't be too hard to make a new website for them, then I found out that the companies owner wants me to just email him a link to the development website.

This means I pretty much have to store the site on the companies internal development server (not a problem), however adding the shopping cart is going to difficult because they all use PHP, and that technology won't run straight off the development server, it needs an Apache server (or similar), but the companies owner refuses to map any new network drives or install any new apps (development servers) on his local terminal.

Can anyone think of a workaround? Because I'm stumped.

either request them to install PHP on the development and production server or find a shopping cart without PHP (I’m sure that there are shopping carts not written in PHP)

Thanks for the help.
I had previously asked if the server could be set up for me and was met with silence. However, they finally got around to configuring it for me, so it's fine now.
