To test php on XP you will need the right version of PHP installed, suggest 4 until 5 is more widely used on servers, but double check with your server owner on this.
Then you will need mysql so soon that you should install it right away. The PWS is NOT needed, no need to get involved with that. I use WebWeaver for a nice lightweight server. It has many Apache features without all the cofig issues. Finally, get a good PHP editor, many are available. All of this is free, readily available. Check http://www.webattach.com Everything you need should be there in the Freeware section.
