Hey.

Technically you don't need either of those. PHP is just a programming language, and you can use it as such on any computer. In fact, PHP has it's own bindings to GUI environments like GTK, which allows you to build PHP desktop applications.

However, PHP as a server-side language will obviously require a server, and that is the most common use of PHP (by far).

And you don't need a database either. PHP itself has nothing to do with databases. It can of course utilize them, just like any other programming language. And for server-side applications, using a database server like MySQL is a very good option. -- But that is in no way your only option for storing data. PHP can use pretty much any data storage you can think of.
