Emerged Apache & PHP. Now what ?

I want to learn PHP programming to brush up my homepage production skills, so I got myself a huge book from the library, emerged Apache and PHP and now I'm wondering how to actually configure & run Apache and PHP so that I can write and run PHP things on my box without running a server that is open to the public. Sorry for the stupid question, but I've never run a webserver so I'd rather be careful so as not to compromise my system security.
