Xampp

If it's on a Windows box (no, wait, they do other OSs too), XAMPP is an excellent choice. Apache, MySQL, PHP, Pear, Python, sendmail, FTP server, blah blah. And a nice control panel for shutting down & starting the servers.

Used it on my dev box for half a year now, and no complaints.

Don't mean to be rude, but how will flash hekp you?
Flash or no flash, I could build a script that mimic'd / brute'd a login in 5 minutes flat - and I'm no hacker.

I dont see why you'd want to reinvent the wheel when there are a number of decent solutions very reasonably priced.

As for the server question. Why don't you find and older pc and put some version of linux on it, and then its a simple matter to get php / mysql / apache setup on it and you are good to go to test just about anything you want. Plus it'll be a bit of a learning experience and you'll feel a lot more comfortable logging into a remote box with SSH.

I reinvent the wheel each day in hopes of picking up more speed then the competition

I know how to use the BASH shell via SSH

I run a cent-os machine as a honeypot

just wanted a local PHP server on my XP box thats all

You can install Apache/PHP/MySQL on your XP box easy enough.. all windows binaries are available.
