WinLAMP is an installer for Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80998

WinLAMP is about 60 mgb
 XAMPP is about 30 mgb
That's all I know about them.

Which is easiest to install and use??
All I need is apache server, php and mySql.



I recommend XAMPP to newer PHP developers. I find it easy to use, and it sets everything up for you. It is truly no hassle.

However, you should just install PHP and Apache on their own. It's not that hard, and it works quite fine for me. Do a Google search for a tutorial.
