For simplicity, I have always preferred XAMPP.

You don't even have to install anything, just launch the app manager
and choose which pieces you want to start up.

It comes with phpMyAdmin, which is a decent enough db front-end for
MySQL, though if you want more, you can always download the tools from
the MySQL site (Administrator and Query Browser are the two I use
regularly).

Of course, it goes without saying that this is a solution only for your
own personal development machine. If you plan to host something for
the rest of the world to see, you would be well advised to install and
configure all the components (Apache/MySQL/PHP) yourself.
