first you need to install apache, php and mysql. instead of installing them seperately, i advise you to install wamp server.. download it from Install PHP 5 Apache MySQL on Windows : WampServer
Then start the server, open bowser and open http://localhost/ you will see page of wampserver..
now put those scripts into www folder of wamp. you can access if from localhost page, it will be shown under Projects head or just directly access http://localhost/FOLDER_NAME
I hope you know installing scripts.
better off using vhosts option in apache then u can use domains offline there fake but least u get the proper perspective all u need to do is setup the vhosts in vhosts.conf and add sitename.com 127.0.0.1 in windows hosts file
they all have a preconfigured server setup with a bespoke interface, find one you like and dont care what people say about it, it really is that simple.
i have tried wampserver but nothing seems to work like the actual online sever and hpw would i go about setting permisions to certain files on scripts would wampserver work if i instal netftp on my laptop and work with that aswell???? coz im getting tireg of wasting data to load a script to my server just to see its crap????
I downloaded xampp step 1 tells me to start "setup_xampp.bat" file however if I do run the file I just get a black dos like screen saying Sorry, but nothing to do!
Press any key to continue...
Pressing enter and everything dissapears like program closed down....
Can't believe its like freaking rocket science to install all this server crap I every1 I try seems to not function like a real server or it does but u have no controll of your files like how to ad permissions to files or folders I even downloaded net2ftp and put it inside Wampserver but guess what I can't log in using default values as I need to have certain file cmod to 775 in net2ftp for it to actually work so I'm just royally f&n screwd lol

hmm strange...
whatever i've tried on win xp pro and/or on win 7 enterprise..
worked just fine.. ok few modification is always needed
tested:
XAMPP
WampServer
Appserv
sepparately installed apache+mysql+php+phpmyadmin
all worked fine...
so im thinking that you got damaged OS maybe ?
anyway... you still got options...
you can install VMware Vorkstation.. and virual machine/s on it,
like Ubuntu server, CentOS...
a bit more work, but once all installed, runs really smooth
