you don't really need anything installed to run php. you can run it standalone if you just plan to do system stuff and don't plan to serve pages to anyone -- although, i highly doubt you'd do php to do that. so, basically, you just need a web server to serve the pages. you can use just about any web server. i recommend apache httpd (http://httpd.apache.org).

you don't need any type of editor for php. a php file is just a text file. you can use notepad or wordpad to edit it if you like -- that's what i use. a lot of people like editors that have syntax highlighting and things like that, though.

Any web server that supports CGI/FastCGI or SAPI.

PHP (like many *nix-based programs) doesn't need to be installed per se; all you have to do is copy the files. If you're using Windows, I recommend the zip distribution.

if you google for install php <insert OS here> you can probably get a nice walk through for everything.
