Mining with PHP (for educational purposes)

[Jakesy]

Does anybody know of a project experiment for mining with PHP?  I know it's not efficient, nor will it make me any BTC, but I'm interested for educational purposes.

I would actually like to see the nonce increment, added transactions, and the resulting hash.  It'd be easier if you could control hash rate (i.e. 1 hash per second, etc...).

Does a project like this already exist?  Possible?

You mean something like this: https://github.com/codler/Bitcoin-phpMiner
What is the real reason you want it for?

Nevermind I don't wanna know....

I want to help my dad/family understand it.  I want to create a "live view" of the blockchain.  An animated view of the previous block with transactions, nonce, hashes, etc...  while showing the current block being mined (i.e. iterating nonce + transactions + prev hash).

Some people are visual, others can imagine what the code does in their mind.   I want to try to bring these two together... for educational purposes.  I know this will never mine a block, but I do want to show what's going on.

Gotcha!
It would be nice if you published it on the web so that other newcomers can visualize what is happening under the hood 
I am sure many members in the forums would help promote the site, of which you can add some adverts and monetize it

That would be a great project to incept. Publish in online and you'll be flooded with traffic.
