I don’t have a website or a server or anything like that. I’m just trying to hone in on my web development skills, I’m having trouble installing MySQL on my XP SP2 machine. I want to use PHP, that is my main concern, I want to learn how to make forums/data entry stuff. Can I do this if I don’t have a server?

MySQL is dependant on a PHP/Apache server.

Not really, but there are easier routes than separately installing Apache/MySQL/PHP. For Windows, the two simplest solutions would probably be XAMPP or AppWeb.

No. But you can install an Apache server (LAMP) on your machine and run it from there (download and install free LAMP). However, it is NOT an easy task, while a fully set-up server + domain costs less than 100$/year! (Much cheaper than the time you will spend installing LAMP…)
