This is pretty awesome, but doesn't PHP have some framework or library for running webapps with their own web servers? I really dislike trying to get PHP working and then have to get nginx or Apache working.
At the risk of sounding too stuck up, Ruby and Python have many frameworks for running themselves as web servers.
I hear you.. I'm using a PHP framework to be sure, but it doesn't come with a web server yet. I have a kind of love hate thing with PHP myself - distributing it isn't all that easy. That said, I made a debian linux image all set up if you'd like to just try it for a while before taking the plunge into a custom install. http://code.google.com/p/streeme/wiki/InstallingStreemeHomeS...
I've coded PHP for quite a while now and whilst it is slowly improving, I honestly don't see any compelling reason to use it over Python or anything else other than being on a stupid webserver. Personally I'd have done this project using Python and a WSGI server.
