PHP is not the fastest language on earth. That honour probably goes to machine code.

Setting up a WAMP Server by hand
Posted by Howard Yeend in Apache on January 15, 2009
This article will step through what you need to do get WAMP (Windows, Apache, mySQL, PHP) running on windows 2000, 98 or XP. (It might work with Vista, ME or 95, but I don’t promise anything)

-learn a basic programming language (PHP)
-learn about relational databases (mySQL)
-learn about server config on the industry standard webserver (apache)
all without having to install a new operating system.
