start from installing Apache Web server on your PC, then PHP, then mySQL then PHPmyAdmin.

PandaN's way is more elegant, and more useful to you in the long run.

For developing on my own (W98) home environment I went with the quick and dirty one click installation of EasyPHP which includes Apache/PHP/MySql/PhpMyAdmin as well as a wrapper to administer the whole package from, and it also sets up the configurations so you are 'live' upon installation. A couple minor bugs and some of the errors are in French, but it has been working well for me.

Whichever way you go about it, security is something you should consider. I didn't get burned, but I did hafta find out by accident:
