Go build a server - Linux distro's will provide the apache/mysql/php stuff
out of the box (you might have to tick some boxes in the install)
alternatively are several packages which will install apache/mysql/php on a
MS-Win box.
The Oracle PHP extension does lots of things which other DB extensions don't
(like variable binding). There are also a lot more people out there using
MySQL than Oracle (so lots of published examples and people able to help).
However both Oracle and MySQL are supported by the dbx_ driver which
provides an abstraction layer from the actual DBMS - while your still
learning, I'd recommend starting with MySQL, write your code to run through
the dbx interface.
