I started off on PWS (with windows98), best thing I ever did was get rid of it.
using the link dk01 gave you will give you the php bundle (you only need the 3 - Apache, MySQl, PHP) and is easy to install, there are other bits you can download if you wish, like the manuals, perl, sqlfront ...
I did manage to run apache and pws seperatly for a while (never at the same time as Mark mentioned) but pws kept trying to dominate everything, so got rid of it

Ah yes that is true, you can run php, asp, mysql, and perl fairly easily but it requires customization and therefore is not the same for everyone. If you download php from their website and lookup "installing php on pws" it should give you the way to do it. ActivePerl is the perl download that will work with pws along with mysql which should install just fine with pws. I don't know of any pack that do this all for you.

No. I wouldn't recommend running any two web servers alongside.

First off, you'll have to work out the port issues. Each web server will want port 80, but only one will be able to use it.

Secondly, it's just another level of complexity. You should work towards a single solution which will accomodate all of your needs.

There is also the phpdev pack witch comes with Apache webserver, php installed, mysql installed, and perl installed.
Its available from: http://www.firepages.com.au
