Installing phpBB on my iMac

Gone !
Hello,

I have downloaded phpBB and started reading the readme and install files.

I'd like a bit of help from the Mac OS X community to understand how do I set my iMac to be able to run the phpBB forums :

1) How do I install the last version of PHP on my Mac ?
2) How do I install MySQL on my Mac ? Which one ?
3) Do I need to install anything more ? What do I need to do ?

I don't know anything about installing PHP or MySQL - I roughly know what this is, but I have only very little competence on the subject. I am simply aiming at installing and running the phpBB forum on my Mac :), as an addition to my website which will have topics about my studies, design, role-playing games and some more stuff, such as scuba, layout apps, etc.

I'm waiting for advice. Thanx for any post that can guide me to install PHP/MySQL/phpBB so I can get the whole running smooth as fast as possible !
 
So you can install phpBB and have it running without MySQL ? The phpBB readme says you need some MySQL base to run the forums. True ?

Very kind to offer your help. Thanx !
 
There're enough tutorials for installing PHP and MySQL on this site to choke a horse. Just do a search and you'll come up with lots of info on how to do it.
