Is there some software which can imitate PHP server but when I'm offline and it's located on my computer? Because I use dial-up, and I can't connect to Net whenever I want and test my site, I'm just curious if this is maybe possible.

Download EasyPHP (here or here) and install it.
There's other alternatives as well, like Apache.

Try WAMP, it is a complete package (Windows- Apache, MySQL, PHP) and requires very little setup to get working:

Install PHP5 Apache MySQL on Windows : WAMP5

(Pointing the other way)
If your on a mac, by far the best is living-e AG: MAMP - Mac - Apache - MySQL - PHP, although all the tools are already installed.

If your on a mac, you can process a page by going /Applications/Utilitites/Terminal, and then typing PHP <Path to the file>
What spits out is your processed page. Or you could send the output directly to a file.
