Add "scratch file" functionality #62

Description

Sometimes, you don't want a controller, you just want to be able to write a bit of PHP and watch it run.

It would be cool to be able to have a folder where you just create PHP files, write code, save the file, and it updates:

<?php

$a = 0;
$b = 100;
rand($a, $b);

After 3 saves:

2
89
56

Navigation-wise, you would select "scratch" folders in settings, then these would show up somewhere in the interface:

  • navigation tree
  • separate section

These would be added to the watch list, then when you edit and save the file, the code is executed, perhaps with some kind of auto-return.

Things to think about:

  • could also have a switch to auto-append to previous output
  • how would errors be handed? Just display the message.
