You can use Twisted's web server to serve PHP as a CGI; take a look at
twisted.web.twcgi.PHPScript, as well as twisted.web.static.File (for
information on how processors work).

However, this depends on what you want to do. Some PHP applications are
really designed to be run inside Apache, and there's no real benefit to
running them inside of Twisted (if you're not using any of Twisted's other
features).

Unless there is an existing PHP application he's trying to run, in which
case Nevow will be of very little utility. If this is a new application
being developed, however, Nevow offers a lot more flexibility.
