Is there any way to look at the results of my php coding without
installing a web server like Apache or uploading my work to my host? I'm
currently doing the latter with some exercises, and it's very time
consuming.
Thanks in advance

Nope. If you're doing web pages, you need a webserver. But it's not
hard at all to install. Google for WAMP or XAMP - both are easy
installations of Apache, MySQL and PHP on Windows.

Roger that. I served up my web site for a couple of years with XAMP. I
was hoping I could avoid reinstalling it, however.
Thanks much.

PHP needs a server to run on.
You can google for wamp or xamp.
If you are using Windows and don't want a permanently installed
web-server then you could try out:
http://www.chsoftware.net/en/useware/wos/wos.htm
I've installed WOS on my USB hard drive and take the drive along to my
clients sites. This way I don't need to worry if the client's machine
has a web server or PHP installed. Plus no more lugging around the
laptop computer and worrying about battery life, any files that I
need, I just copy to my USB drive.

You can run PHP from the command line, though it's kinda awkward sending
POST and GET variables. Just execute php.exe (or /usr/bin/php) [filename.php]

Yes, there are php editors that have a built-in php server/emulation mode.

nonsense...

He didn't ask for that; he was looking for a way of checking his php code
without using a webserver.
And that is possible. Pls read carefully before answering...

PHP needs at least an emulated server to run on. There are php-editor that
provide such as well.

And lets see you test sessions, $_GET or $_POST handling or a lot of
other stuff without a webserver.
You need to understand what he's asking.
