In order to really work with PHP, you need a MySQL server (or some
other database server), PHP interfaced with a web server, and a browser.
There's no reason this can't all be on the same machine, although having
lots of memory will speed things up a bit. It's not like you're going
to try to run all of Google's search engines on one laptop with all
the hits per minute Google gets.
