I've seen various methods of running things like XAMPP, but IMHO it's crazy simple to set up something like what Barry described, or maybe even just give each dev a stripped down VM with the LAMP stack configured.<div>

</div>Why not just use Apache and mod_php? It shouldn't take that long to<br>
hack together a configuration file that listens on a high port and<br>
then run it as a user...<br>
