yes you can. i have been running mysql on one for some time now without any problems. I have not tried loading phpmyadmin but you can get php to run under iis (i would swing towards apache if you just need php)

i am confused by the part "how will it work", if by that you mean performance. i would say pretty good

Mysql runs great on windows but i would not recommend using php with IIS unless you have to. On IIS php runs as a CGI app as opposed to apache where it runs as a module. this means starting a process for every request which will slow down the server responce. You can however run apache/php on windows with most of the functionality of a *nix os.

i will run a IPB forum on the server so do I need to install PHP then ?
