Well, it almost makes sense :-)

I've never heard about a protocol called CMS - usually CMS in web 
context refers to Content Management System.

SQL is a language used with relational database management systems 
(RDBMS), an example of such system is MySQL.

To use PHP and MySQL, you'll need a web server, e.g. Apache.

An easy way to get these three (Apache, PHP, MySQL) running on OS X is 
MAMP <http://www.mamp.info/>.
