Apache, MySQL and PHP are also available as regular packages.
Configuring Apache to be able to serve PHP is also well documented, also
for Windows:
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php>
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php>
Maybe it's worth a try for you and you would learn how all the
components work together and also the differences between PHP as an
Apache module or PHP as CGI.

Depending on the version the Windows firewall usually just asks if you
want to allow access to services as soon as they create listening
sockets for the first time - it does not matter if the services really
*need* this or not. It should be save to block any access from "outside"
to MySQL or Apache.
Of course it would be also wise not to allow external access within the
configuration of MySQL and Apache (e.g. only allow access from localhost
or don't bind anything else than the loopback device etc.).
