Need advise on setting up a server...

Could you please advise me on how to allow my PC to run PHP, MYSQL and a APACHE server.

I do not know which downloads to download from the sites...

I run Win XP Home, All i ask is for the URL's to the files.

(There are 2 options for getting PHP from php.net, which one???)

Also will others be able to set access the server from the internet. I use a dial-up modem...

Thank You,

Ok i have got all i need now (I think)

I got:

php-4.2.3-installer.exe
apache_2.0.40-win32-x86-no_ssl.exe
mysql-3.23.52-win.zip

Now what i want to know is - is it possible to turn Apache on or off at my own will.

I think i understand things correctly.

You install Apache, PHP then MYSQL. What i want to know is:

Can you choose to start up Apache from just clicking a icon?

I do not want to allow people to access my work while i am playing games or browsing the internet, becasue of possibly taking my bandwith up.

Thank You,
