06042007 1619 GMT-6 DST To use php you just download it from php.net. You will need a web server. I use apache. On windows IIS is default but you can get around that. It is free. Mysql is free and you get it from mysql.com.
If you are going to have your site hosted - none of this matters because you can create your pages, upload and test them - without installing all of this on your computer. I dont not suggest you do it this way but, considering the questions you asked, I would suggest you do it this way.
