I have no idea what you are asking here.

Vim is a text editor. It sounds like you're asking how to run a PHP script on your local machine, which has nothing to do with a text editor. If that is not what you are asking, please clarify.

If you are asking how to run a PHP script which you currently have loaded in Vim, then I imagine you have some external program to run your script. Vim can run external programs easily.

I have no idea how PHP works outside a webserver, so let's assume for demonstration's sake that you can run a process called "php" with a file as input, printing to stdout. This may not be the case, but the concepts should be similar. Assuming this, you could do:

:!php % > somefile.html

to process the current file with a php command and redirect the output to a file.

Possibly you can also use something like:

:compiler php
:make

but I don't actually know what that will accomplish. I only know there is a php compiler plugin distributed with Vim.
