Setting Up a Server

Ok, here's what I am trying to do. I want to set-up a
Windows laptop as a "webserver", basically, I want to
work on PHP and MySQL without access to the servers
that my pages will end up on. So far I have tried to
use the webserver Xitami (version 2.4c1 Not the most
current), PHP version 3.0.6, and the latest version of
MySQL Shareware. Unforunately, this did not work... I
did get the PHP parser working, but all my calls to
MySQL failed horribly. I download a driver for
ODBC/MySQL and that didn't solve the problem...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make what I
have started work? Also, I will take suggestions for
other webservers... (if it can be explained how to
set-up PHP and MySQL with it...)

Thanks in advance for any help,

Jim Bo
