Where can I find Windows based PHP hosting software?

This is what I need the software for:

First, I am developing a site that will most likely use a PHP shopping cart (www.oscommerce.com). What should be pointed out is that I will be developing the site on my LAN and sending it live to be hosted.

The shopping cart itself is compatable with windows, however, I am at a loss to find any PHP hosting software.

Second, are there any good PHP sites that I can read up on the functionality of PHP?

You will probably need the activestate perl for windows too.

www.php.net (http://www.php.net)

The documentation is vast, mostly documenting the various library API's. Even if you are familiar with C, read the first few sections covering the language. There are some things that may be new to you, such as === and !==, and some old favourites that don't behave in the same was as they do in C, e.g. ?: (it has different associativity)

Good luck and have fun :)
