About
PHPSandbox is an online PHP sandbox and editor that lets developers create, run, and share PHP projects from the browser. It provides a permanent preview URL for each project, a Monaco-based editor, Composer integration, and support for importing public Composer projects from GitHub or exporting projects back to GitHub.
The free plan includes 10 notebooks, a 5 minute timeout per notebook, 1 GB storage per notebook, 1 GB memory per notebook, public repositories, and community support. It is aimed at developers who need a browser-based PHP environment for prototyping, package testing, documentation examples, and teaching.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped but genuinely usable starter plan: it includes a small notebook allowance, public repositories, and community support, but it leaves out the private/pro features in the paid plan. Since the cheapest paid plan is $6/month and the free tier delivers roughly a third of that practical capability, it’s worth about $2/month. A credit card requirement isn’t stated, so there’s no extra friction signal to offset the value.
