Default PHP for Mac

I've seen a lot of stuff about Linux, but nothing about PHP coding for Mac.
Is it possible to create PHP based web stuff on an Apple system?
Sorry if this is something 'everybody' knows.
I just never saw anything to say that Macs weren't covered.

Does anyone know if there are any severe limitations or setbacks that would be avoided by coding in Windows?

Also, any info/advise on the best combination of languages/programs for coding high functionality forums (in Windows, Linux, or Mac) would be greatly appreciated.
For example, would it be better to use MySQL and PHP4 together, as opposed to DB2 and ASP (if that's even a valid combination)?

As you can see, I'm completely new to this area, so go easy on me.


Thanks.
