newb - running simple php programs on my local machine ... ?

I am new to php and starting to write my first programs.

 

I have a laptop (my local pc) and I am wondering if there is some kind of php-interpreter available so I can test them out on my local machine without having to upload them to my website?

 

Is there anyway I can avoid having to install a web-sever on my machine?

Is there an all-in-one php interpreter?  (someone suggested something called  Xampp, - is this the best?)

 

thanks,,

There's XAMPP, WAMP (Windows), MAMP (Mac), and LAMP (Linux), and probably a host of others. What these do is install Apache webserver, MySQL server, and PHP for you to save you some of the hassle of installing each individually, and doing the configuration yourself.
