You need a server to have a database and work with PHP files. Most use apache. Here is a list of things to help you. I personally recommend xampp - http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html or easyphp (shown in the other URL).

Since PHP and MySQL are "server-side" languages, you cannot run them without a server. This does not mean you cannot test them locally, however: instead, you need to set up YOUR system to act as a server, then test your programming by using the address 127.0.0.1 instead of a server name.
The things you will need to install are:
- Apache (the web server)
- PHP
- MySQL
Even once you do all that, you would still need to take into account that our servers may have different things installed from yours, and that some things that you test at home COULD work differently here, if they are relying upon your specific configuration.
Either way, the installations of the above items onto your system are best handled by your careful study and consideration of the instructions for Apache, PHP, and MySQL.
One more way, I think the easiet one - find and download denwer. This is virtual server that uses free space from your hard disk. Denwer packge already contains PHP4, MySQL4 with phpMyAdmin, also supports MySQL5, MSSQL, cgi and lots of other stuff.
Installation proccess will take 1 minute. The only thing you must do - choose disk from your hard disk for virtual server needs and to give name to new virtual disk.
By the way - it's russian program. Respect

as wumingsden suggested xampp.. i suggest the same thing. imo its the best out there if your doing local tests.
downaload wamp at www.wampserver.com
its great it has apache, mysql, php, and phpmyadmin all in one installation i really recommend it

Havn't tried that one, but I am a Windows user and for my testing I use XAMPP for its easy install.
Hey! i use wamp and it is also very good.
really i don't know the difference between them, but either would suffice any home testing need.
for actual web server with domains i am using xampp from my home, and everydns.net for dynamic dns, and i am happy with it (xampp even has webalizer!)

Just to test a simple script (although I don't think you can use MySQL this way), you can run php from the command-line. Just download and install php from the php website, and then call php like this:
| Code: |
| C:\> cd C:\Program Files\PHP\
C:\Program Files\PHP\> php somePHPFile.php |
There are several PHP editors out there that will test scripts on your system while you develop them one is called Maguma Studio and I have used it a little for testing of scripts that I have written.
You can dowload it from here:
http://www.maguma.com/
If you want to put out the money Zend has a great editor.
http://www.zend.com
Good luck.

A russian program. Ill respect it but i dont think ill be able to read it. Isnt there a language for it. And where can i get it anyway ?
I suggest WAMP or Nusphere.
XAMPP the best.
