There are easy to setup servers made for testing. I suggest EasyPHP. It installs an apache server with php and mysql preconfigured. There is a BYOND member who works on a similar package, but I'm not sure what it is called or who it was.

There are numerous tutorials online that cover installing Apache, PHP, and MySQL onto a Windows configuration, such as the one at http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/ install-apache-php-mysql.php.

After installing Apache/PHP, you can test PHP scripts offline, and then if you install MySQL you can even test PHP scripts that interact with a database.

As Danial.Beta, you can download software easy-to-setup. I, personally recommend XAMPP/WAMPP, which you can find with a simple google.
