If you would like to start a website with php capable, you'll need:
- a web server app (like apache, python)
- PHP
- optional but most common: mysql
If you would like run PHP as a script only, you only need PHP installed.

Not at all :)
I don't know about Windows, but in Linux simply get hold of and install Apache and Php. The whole thing is free, and easily done. Once you've done this you will be running a local Php enabled server, and can experiment with offline Php all you like!

Yes you need to setup a Web server even though it is for your own use locally. A properly running server for experimenting PHP code is a Web server, usually at localhost or another machine in your department. The old saying is LAMP (Linux OS-Apache Web server-MySQL database-PHP programming code) but there's nothing too inferior with WAMP (Windows OS) for experimentation performance since the rest of other pieces have Windows versions.

I don't fully unserstand. PHP run when apache is loaded as a module. Do you mean you want to run a php script persistently?

You can do it in Windows. Very easily.
It's called APPSERV.
What it does is installs Apache, MySQL and PHP all together on your Hard drive making your Computer a basic Website server. It's great for testing PHP scripts before going live with them.
See this link...and read.

definitely to run php u need a webserver like APACHE or Microsoft Windows IIS ... if u have a Windows XP CD u can install IIS to ur Wondows XP OS from that CD... if u dont have u can use APACHE, which is a free webserver

Yes, you need a server, but you can easily set it up on your desktop or laptop.
