I suggest XAMPP as an all-in-one package for development work.
It includes the following (free of charge):
Apache HTTPD 2.2.11 + Openssl 0.9.8i (Web server)
MySQL 5.1.30 (database)
PHP 5.2.8
phpMyAdmin 3.1.1 (Database Management)
FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.29
Mercury Mail Transport System 4.52

For a simple (and free) PHP and SQL editor, Notepad++ is my choice. If you
find that does not meet your needs, there are many others such as NuSphere,
Zend Studio, ActiveState Komodo, Eclipse, etc. All have their good and
not-so-good attributes that will spark debate ad infinitum.

I am teaching myself how to program in php. What do I need to load into my
laptop so I can review in a browser what I've composed?
