I need to make a syntax analysis of some simple English sentences on inexpensive shared hostings with PHP and MySQL support. In fact, I will have no special admin rights for installing and using additional things like JVM (or modifying httpd.conf). Unfortunately (in my situation), most of NLP tools are written in Java. Can I use Python libraries? Do many of shared hostings support Python 2.7 and higher? Are there any pure PHP syntax parsers for the English language? I don't want to make the user of my syntax parser to install additional tools. It must work out of the box or require little magic without special admin rights.
