Really, the easiest solution is to install something like VirtualBox and
install any Linux distro (eg Ubuntu) as a virtual machine. *Every* Linux
distribution includes Apache, PHP, and MySql in the distro's package
repository. Distros like Ubuntu have a nice point-and-click package management
system, where you can just do a few points and clicks and have a LAMP system
up with almost no effort at all.

These are sources and need to be compiled, which is somewhat non-trivial task,
partitularly under MS-Windows.

The Apache site probably does NOT have binary installer for Apache's http,
esp. for MS-Windows. You can try to search for 'WAMP installer' or something
like that, but setting up a LAMP server as a virtual machine might actually be
both easier and will likely work better. While building Apache HTTPD for
MS-Windows is possible, it is not going to be easy and it is a *minority*
thing, and something of an job for an expert.
