Add repl.it to the list: a couple of releases behind, but works very well
in my experience for testing.
https://repl.it/languages/php_cli

On the page: a big +1 from me. PHP needs some marketing, and I would like
the content to address the objections from naysayers online who start by
saying "I haven't used PHP since PHP 4/5 and I wouldn't use it because..."

Can any firms that support PHP donate a copywriter or marketing executive
to help?
