If you're using windows, the easiest is to use WAMP:

If you're using linux, you're best off using whatever distribution's native method.

The first link below shows the most popular webservers. The most suitable one to run php on is mysql, but Microsoft's IIS should run php too.

Just so you know what's what:

Apache is a webserver, which essentially make sure people can connect to your IP and pages are sent to them across the internet

php is a programming language, which will run under many webservers. It's responsible for taking a particular web request and producing a dynamic page as a result

mysql is a database, which is used for storing relational data.

phpmyadmin is a php program you can run under a webserver to manage your databases.

It sound like you want apache first, but you must install the others too.
