You can use IIS with PHP. It's just that IIS is less flexible to work with, unless Microsoft came up with a method to emulate Apache's ".htaccess".

yes..you have to use Apache as you have to use IIS for ASP. you can use MSSQL Server but there are several steps to use it with PHP.

Start reading the php codes (or any other programming lang) and try to understand what does it to... No need any tools / servers / etc.. this is later part.. That the beauty of open source, if you want to learn, read other ppl codes, then probably modify it to suite your needs.. Read more codes, lookup google to understand what it does.. then try to write some simple program.. Best way to learn a programming lang is to find a personal project...
