How can I execute a php script on an android device?

Question

The php script is on the android device itself and I need to run it on the device. I have downloaded a few php server apps from playstore and they work fine. But I have to implement this method inside my app so I cannot use another app to perform the server operations.

Actual problem:- So i have this Adobe HDS script and there is no java variant of this script.

Yes I have already tried but no luck. Does not seem to run php scripts. — phositronax

Here are the three options I can think of.

1) local execution with sl4a

As far as I know, the only solution solution to execute scripting languages on Android devices (such as Python, Ruby or PHP) is sl4a, whose PHP support is provided by PHP for Android. However it doesn't seem to be actively maintained.

2) server-side execution

You could host your script on a server and call it from the device through a HTTP request.

3) porting to Java

If your script is simple you could try to translate it into Java.
