I want to run a PHP MySQL web application on an Android device. The device is not rooted.
Is there any way? If there isn't, can the device connect to a PC's localhost offline?

Use an app that provides your needs. There are several web servers with scripting support available (disclosure: link goes to my Android site). – Izzy Oct 14 '17 at 09:51

UPDATE AS OF JUNE 2, 2021
Option #1 ( Using CLI-based apks)
BEST OPTION
- Termux (Installation of PHP, MARIADB, PHPMYADMIN packages within termux)
- Terminal Emulator
- UserLand
Option #2 (Using GUI-based apks)
Summary:
- The above-mentioned apks do not require rooted device.
- CLI-based apks are highly recommended because a user can use UPDATED version of PHP, Apache, and any other packages you want to install to. The KickWeb apk does support running .php files BUT ,unfortunately, it doesn't have the latest PHP VERSION. Using an outdated version of PHP makes some of your PHP code to throw errors or warnings etc.

I have tried KickWeb Server and it works as expected.
