Submission + - Web server on a business card (hackaday.com)

mollyhackit writes: "We've seen tiny web servers in the past, but rarely ones that are home built. Here's a guide to building your own tiny web server with a footprint no larger than a business card. The design uses two major chips. One handles the SPI to MAC/PHY translation for the ethernet jack. The other chip is a PIC24F, which hosts a simple web server and reads files stored on a microSD card. All components run at a low 3.3volts. Part of the compactness of the design comes from the PIC24F having programmable pins; only four jumper wires were needed. The single sided SMD design is easy to manufacture at home. Part 1 covered many of the 24F's features and both posts have full code available."

And PHP is already included in the OS, you just have to turn it on.

Minor correction, but, there's nothing you need to do in order to 'turn PHP on' with OS X. Pop open the command line and type 'php -v,' and, like any application, you'll notice it's always there for you to use.

It's also configured with Apache by default, so you just have to start apache and you're able to serve PHP documents. It's PHP4, though.
