I have a PHP script that can take $_GET parameters from a URL (i.e. http://www.example.com/test.php?name=george). I'd like to be able to host this script online so that others can pass parameters to it to obtain the returned data. Anyone know of a free PHP hosting site that would allow for his functionality?

(PS: I can't host it myself)

Thanks!

If you have your own domain name, 000webhost, otherwise, Heroku began hosting PHP (here's a brief walkthrough for Heroku's PHP option since they don't document it well themselves).

I've used both and have no complaints about either.

Is there any simpler? I see that Heroku requires you to download its "Toolbelt". Are there any sites where I can create an account, upload my PHP file, and be able to publicly query it—quickly like that? i'm not looking for a full-blown webhost. – Anthony Newman Sep 6 '12 at 3:51

@AnthonyNewman Just use, 000webhost, you don't need to use the other features of it. – Fogest Sep 6 '12 at 3:54
Ah, I see now. 000webhost is so much easier than the other services I've tried. Easily found the upload screen. Thanks folks! – Anthony Newman Sep 6 '12 at 4:01
