Download PHP Trail for Windows
This is the official download of PHP Trail version 2.9.30, the original build, with a setup program of about 34 MB and a portable single .exe of about 25 MB. Compare the checksum first.
- Press Download PHP Trail and save the setup file to your Downloads folder.
- Compare the file's SHA-256 checksum with the published manifest, using the certutil command shown below.
- Run the setup. If Windows SmartScreen warns, choose More info, then Run anyway, but only after the checksum matches.
- Open the app, connect a model and choose the project folder you want to practice in.
No account is needed. A cloud AI provider may charge separately for its own service, and that provider, not this site, sets its terms. Check them before you connect an endpoint.
System requirements
PHP Trail runs on Windows 10 or 11 on x64 PCs. PHP is separate. To run your own scripts you also need PHP itself, installed from the PHP website, and typing php -v in a terminal shows whether your PHP command is ready.
Updates
Press Update when it appears. Version 2.9.30 was released on 8 November 2026, and the app shows an Update button when a newer version is ready.
Check the file with certutil
certutil -hashfile "C:\Users\you\Downloads\<downloaded file>.exe" SHA256Use your own path. Run this in a terminal, and remember that the installer is not code-signed yet, so the printed SHA-256 value must match the published manifest before you run it.
