Google Desktop Search actually runs a small web server on your PC
that's not available to anyone outside the computer. A web server can
also run on any port; the one for Google Desktop Search runs on port
4664.
In short, to make a browser-based application that utilizes PHP, you
will need to run a web server as well. A light-weight web server that's
able to run PHP scripts will do.
