For many reasons it is advisable to run a local Web server on your own computer for the development
and test environment. You safeguard your Web space provider's server from unnecessary load and can
save yourself substantial online costs if you're not subscribed to a flat rate service.
There are two possibilities. You can look up the following Web sites and download the server
components individually,
http://httpd.apache.org/
http://www.php.net/downloads.php
http://www.mysql.org/downloads/index.html
or you can use the all-in-one solution PHPTriad. This installs the Apache Server, PHP 4 and MySQL together
onto your system almost fully configured.

Incidentally, PHPTriad includes a very useful tool: phpMyAdmin - almost the standard application
for setting up and maintaining MySQL Databases via Web browser.
