PHP for Android project (PFA) aims to make PHP development in Android not only possible but also feasible providing tools and documentation.
We currently have an APK which provides PHP support to SL4A (PhpForAndroid.apk) and we're working in a manual.

PhpForAndroid-APK
SL4A (Android Scripting Environment) is a Google-mantained project which “brings scripting languages to Android by allowing you to edit and execute scripts and interactive interpreters directly on the Android device”.
PhpForAndroid-APK provides PHP support to SL4A.
Requirements
min: Android OS 1.5 (phone or emulator)
Enable “Unknown Sources” under Application settings.
Install SL4A (Android Scripting Environment)
~~BARCODE~class=barcode_left~url=http://android-scripting.googlecode.com/files/sl4a_r3.apk~size=S~~
SL4A only comes with a shell interpreter by default.
Install PhpForAndroid.apk
~~BARCODE~class=barcode_left~url=http://php-for-android.googlecode.com/files/phpforandroid_r1.apk~size=S~~
Download latest release (Releases page)
Once installed, run it and tap on “Install”.
The PHP binary and the scripts will become available to SL4A.
Now!, run SL4A. You should be able to see PHP demo scripts and they should work!.
Doesn't it work? Please, try uninstalling and installing again (this is alpha software).

Getting started
SL4A ApiReference is your friend : http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/ApiReference
The real time ways (no more install, no SDK, nothing required)
1. Add/Edit PHP scripts on your mobile
SL4A allows you to add or edit scripts on your mobile.
2. Use testnow.php
“allow_url_include” is On by default so you can include your code easily.
Include your own internet publicly available script. You'll find an already installed php script called “test.php”:
<?php
require_once("Android.php");
include("http://phpforandroid.net/files/testnow.php.txt"); // ".txt" extention required to prevent parsing
TODO Tell about remote, using SDK…
