Anyone out there got a beginners guide to doing this? What order do I install the programs in?

I basically want to use PHP on a site and would like my PC to act as a local server during development.

Also are there any good front ends for MySQL, I don’t fancy command line.

Cheers.

I used [http://www.easyphp.org/?lang=en](http://www.easyphp.org/?lang=en) , it’s a one-click install, and you get phpMyAdmin thrown in for free… 😉  
There’s another package out there, but I don’t remember it’s name…
