This post describes PHP installation as a module within the Windows version of Apache 2.2. Mac and Linux users will probably have it installed already.

There are some excellent all-in-one Windows distributions that contain Apache, PHP, MySQL and other applications in a single installation file, e.g. XAMPP (including a Mac version), WampServer and Web.Developer.
