If you want to Install PHP, MySQL and Apache on Windows but find installing them individually a really time consuming job (which sure it is) then you may want to give a look at XAMPP.

XAMPP is one click installation package which install all PHP, MySQL and Apache (including firezilla too) so you never have to install all of them individually and to connect them.. There is also no hussle of starting/closing services like apache or mysql as there is XAMPP control panel which takes care of this. So to start any service, you can do it from Xampp control panel. Not only this, XAMPP also provide you feature of switching php version of 4 and 5 so you can test your application in both php 4 and php 5.

You can know more about XAMPP here and can download it from the same page too (chose windows option and installer). For any problem, they also have very handy FAQ page.
