Simple way to setup PHP/MySQL in OS X?

Web-development novice here. I want to try implementing a simple web site that uses PHP and MySQL but I don't want to pay for server/domain hosting. Is there a simple way to just try out my implementation using only the local resources on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7) before making it live online? If so, what do I have to install? Thanks!

You can use Apache as webserver and install PHP, if i'm right apache is already installed in you OS, you can google for an apache+php instal tutorial for mac. and if you dont want to mess with anything, use xamp

Of course you can download source codes and compile everything as you want, but I strongly recommend MAMP. It contains probably all you need out of the box.
