Install and run XAMPP - you get the whole suite. Just remember to configure it as by default it has no passwords and exposes all the features for online access.

XAMPP is an excellent option, if you want to learn Php/mysql.
However, I would advice to buy your own domain and rent your server ($50/year is no big deal).
You can then create sub-domains on that server for your trials.
Using xampp is fine, but it is NOT as "secure" as using a "real" server!

Then follow the steps contained in the Youtube video. i assistance chic textual content 3 editor in case you could manage to pay for $70 yet Notepad++ is a good textual content editor too.

As alternative you can use WAMP www.wampserver.com/en/
It contains Apache, mySQL and PHP - just everything you need to start.
However I strongly advise you to learn JavaScript as well, at least jQuery (JavaScript library that simplifies using JavaScript) to get knowledge about adding some interactivity to web pages.

be sure when you use xampp that you move the index.php and the root files in xampp to someplace you can move them back if you need them again.
