• Answer: It is possible you could. It would require that: • The web server is configured to serve PHP pages – most are nowadays, or if not can easily be configured to do so. • The user that has runs the web server (often ‘nobody’) has access rights to Mathematica. In some cases only specific users can connect. This can be enforced by a license manager. • However, there are numerous license and security issues that would arise, which means you would be ill advised to do this.
