Yes obviously a local personal web server is needed to develop PHP...
I have just uninstalled Apache. It was just too difficult to configure and manage, even with the "triad" installer that also installed MySQL and PHP at the same time.
Instead I am now using Abyss Web Server as my development web server. It is an unbelivably small download, and incredibly easy to install and configure. The only problem I have found with this web server was finding the page on their site that explains how to install PHP as well!
http://www.aprelium.com/
http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html
And they don't have a page that explains how to install MySQL and phpMyAdmin but this info is in their forum (or on the mysql.net and phpmyadmin.net websites)
